Christian Provocateurs and Muslim Moderation3/29/08 at 9:20 AMHave you noticed that Europe is issuing new provocations to Islam, and that Muslims are reacting so far with calm? Dutch politician Geert Wilders is promoting a film he says will prove his belief that "Islamic ideology is a retarded, dangerous one." A Danish newspaper republished one of the caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad last month, after the arrest of a man purported to be plotting to kill the cartoonist. Most troubling was the pope's decision to baptize the Egyptian journalist Magdi Allam in St. Peter's on the night before Easter, thus converting a famously self-hating Muslim into a self-loving Christian in the most high-profile setting possible.Yet so far the main reaction to the pope was dismay from the 138 Muslim scholars of the new Roman Catholic-Muslim forum for dialogue, who said the "spectacle" of Allam's baptism, "with its choreography, persona and messages, provokes genuine questions about the motives ... and plans of some of the pope's advisers on Islam."There are...

Activity restrictions before hernia surgery
A very common misconception that we hear from patients is that exercise can strengthen and improve a hernia. This is wrong. Exercise will only make a hernia worse.
The worst exercises are those that target the abdominal muscles. These exercises strain a hernia and cause it to grow faster. They can also can trigger a bowel strangulation and send a patient to the ER for emergency surgery.
So what exercises are safe? Strictly speaking, no exercise is safe until you get your hernia fixed. But some exercises are less dangerous than others. Avoid any activity that causes your hernia to hurt or bulge.
Swimming and walking are two forms of exercise that seem to trigger less problems. Sex is allowable if it does not aggravate the hernia. Sitting or standing for long periods of time may be tolerated.
In summary we advise you to conduct your normal daily activities as you need to take care of your self and your family. Avoid strenuous activities. And get your hernia fixed as soon as is practical for you.

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- A Kalamazoo woman who stabbed her ex-boyfriend to death last Thursday was justified, and will not be charged with any crime.
Prosecutor Jeff Fink says 40-year-old John Kelly had forced his way into Denise Johnson's apartment on Douglas, violating a personal protection order issued by a judge, and cut her twice with a knife before she plunged a kitchen knife into his chest, fatally wounding him.
Fink cited a history of abuse, threats and break-ins and said Johnson was just exercising her right of self-defense.

LIVE Russia in real time.
So today's was a soft launch and we still have some bugs to work out. We'll be back tomorrow with more.
Mikhail Zygar, editor in Chief of Dozhd TV, wins International Press Freedom Award from the Committee to Protect Journalists
Some reactions to Russia ending the FLEX high school exchange program:
Stanford University Professor Michael McFaul, former U.S. Ambassador to Russia
Ukrainian Social Researcher Irene Fedets
Fulbright Scholar Sergeu Kostyaev
Lena Osipova, OPhD Student at School of International Service, American University
From the always insightful Sean Guillory:
"Novorossyia is just a cinematic project to rile up the population anyway. The "heroes" have always been actors in a larger drama, and when this series jumps the shark, its production set will be folded up and the stage will be prepared for a new theatrical work to dazzle the spectator. The cinematography deployed to turn Russia into "war state" is all just the tactics. We shouldn't so quickly substitute smoke and mirrors for reality. Putin's real strategy is to hobble Ukraine and humble the West, and on that he's doing pretty damn well."
As usual, Paul Goble already a lot of great content up at his Window on Eurasia blog. Does that man ever sleep? As I've said before, Window on Eurasia is one of the best resources available in the English language for Russia watchers. The volume of material -- not to mention the quality -- is amazing. Does this guy ever sleep?
A couple things that immediately caught my eye today:
A post about how Belarusian strongman Alyaksandr Lukashenka is "quietly purging" a "pro-Moscow 'Fifth Column'" in his regime.
"Concerned that Moscow might engineer a regime change in Belarus as a follow on to its actions in Ukraine, Alyaksandr Lukashenka has been purging pro-Russian officials from his regime – but in a very quiet way lest he provoke Moscow as a result."
The piece cited reports in "Nasha Niva" and "Obozrevatel"
There's also a piece, citing the web portal "Novy Kaliningrad" that looks at whether Kaliningrad's Muslim community might rebel against Moscow.
"The 100,000-strong Muslim community of Kaliningrad is running out of options in the Russian legal system to secure land for the construction of a mosque in that Russian exclave and consequently will now appeal to the European Court of Human Rights, according to their lawyer Dagir Khasavov.
But meanwhile, continuing opposition by regional officials to a mosque, Irshat Khisamov, head of the Muslim community in the oblast, says, is having "an extremely negative" impact on the members of his community. And many of them believe the governor there wants 'a Maidan like the one in Ukraine.'"
And it keeps on getting more and more absurd. The Communist Party is proposing a bill that would forbid lawmakers from leaving the country without the speaker's permission, "Izvestia" reports.
It's hard to believe, but there was a time when serious Kremlin-watchers (present company included), thought Vladimir Putin might turn out to be a reformer who would modernize Russia.
Bloomberg issued an interesting piece this week by Simon Kennedy and Henry Meyer titled: "What Putin Wrought Has World Asking What Russia Might Have Been."
Here's an excerpt:
"The Russian leader initially lived up to expectations as he reduced taxes and pushed entry into the World Trade Organization. Markets rallied and foreign investors poured in, driving theMicex Index of stocks up 12-fold in Putin's first two terms, before the financial crisis hit in 2008. The ruble rose 12 percent in the same period.
Those days are now consigned to what might have been. Putin began turning away from his new friends as early as 2003, and accelerated the retreat as his third term in the Kremlin got under way in 2012. He cracked down on dissidents, curbed economic freedoms and, this year, fomented the rebellion in eastern Ukraine.
The result: Russia, now bordering on recession, suffers mounting international sanctions and, increasingly, is a pariah in capital markets. While the MSCI World Index of equities is up 9.7 percent from a year ago, the Micex is down 2.9 percent. The ruble, which today reached a record low, has fallen 30 percent since Putin first became president."

October 1, 2014
Mike London isn't ready to make a change at starting quarterback this week when his Virginia football team hosts Louisiana Tech. But London acknowledges that he needs to see some improvement.
"Right now there is no change of strategy. Both of them, though, have to perform -- and allow us to be competitive and win some games," London told reporters on Monday, referring to junior Michael Rocco and sophomore Phillip Sims.
Rocco has started Virginia's last 17 games, dating back to the start of the 2011 season. He's completed 74-of-123 passes this year, for 838 yards, four touchdowns, and five interceptions. Those stats include four interceptions in the team's back-to-back road losses at Georgia Tech and TCU the past two weeks.
Sims, who transferred from Alabama this summer and was granted an NCAA waiver to play immediately, has appeared in all four games for the Cavaliers. His stats include 18-of-29 passing for 174 yards and three touchdowns. All three of his touchdown passes have come in Virginia's last two losses.
"The great thing about those two guys is they're great competitors, and they understand that what's best for the team is what's best for the team, ultimately," London said. "So there's no issues with us right now with the quarterbacks. We know we have to play better, and the surrounding cast has to play better as well."
"I know me, and I can speak for all my teammates when I say that our confidence doesn't go down whether Mike is in or Phil is in," sophomore running back Khalek Shepherd said. "We have two great quarterbacks that can run our offense effectively."
Both of Virginia's wins have come at Scott Stadium, where on Saturday they'll face a Louisiana Tech team that's 3-0, and 11th in the country in total offense. But the Bulldogs are also ranked 115th in the nation in total defense, and 117th in pass defense.
"This is the type of game that will kind of tell a lot here, a little bit," London said. "We're at Game 4, into Game 5. The style of defense that we're going to go against. It's kind of important that we throw the ball where it's supposed to be thrown -- catch and run opportunities; move the team -- before we go into league play."

eJamming Music Software
Posted by Edwin Soto Categories: Music, Software
Here at DigitalLife we got to experience some of the cool things already, but eJamming definitely caught our collective eyes when we saw a drummer banging on some MIDI drums. How is this innovative? Well, he wasn't alone. He was jamming with 4 other musicians - but only one of them was actually near him. Using eJamming's software, you can actually have real time sessions with MIDI (and soon audio too) via a broadband connection. Of course, if you want to take it to the next level, you can record your entire MIDI session and export it to your favorite editor such as Pro Tools or Cubase for further editing and mixing. The bad part is if you're the guitarist that likes to break amps, they will most likely be your own. Read More | eJamming

20.08.06 - By Vanessa McConnell: Top Ranks premier for the rest of the year: For many years Top Rank Boxing has provides boxing fans with the very best entertainment in the world, championship boxing. There is not a great boxer on the map that has not touched a fight card at some time or another promoted by Top Rank. This year was exciting and the ending is even more impressive..
Top Rank is presenting The Grand Finale! November 18 featuring the Manny Pacquiao (42-3-2, 32 KOs) vs Erik El Terrible Morales (48-4, 34 KOs) III in association with Wynn Las Vegas broadcast on HBO PPV from the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. Tiajuana and the Philippines face off in another well-anticipated rematch of the year, lets just hope no one goes to jail this time for passing out flyers to the Pacquiao after party in the parking lot. Visit www.unlvtickets.com for ticket information.
No doubt about it, Top Rank is set till the end of the year. Last weekend There was a fight featured on Telefutura at the Pasadena Convention Center in Houston, TX featuring the best NABA Flyweights, Super Lightweights, Middleweights, Super Featherweights, Welterweights and Super Welterweights going round for round for championship titles.
Next month Main Events will be presenting a fight card at the Orleans Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas on Sept. 14 and at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA, which will be broadcast on HBO on Sept. 23. Topping the year off is the 12 round fights coming up with Miguel Cotto (27-0, 22 KOs) on December 2 at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. presented on Showtime and the WBO Welterweight Championship bout with Antonio Margarito (33-4, 24 KOs) from Tijuana, Mexico.
One more round or lets have a rematch?
The recent fight promoted by Top Rank Boxing, Wynn Las Vegas, Caesars Palace and HBO PPV titled Americas Last Line of Defense is two weeks in the can, but is all everyone keeps talking about. This rematch has been six or so years over due, it finally comes around in the seventh and no body knows what happened. It took a week to think about it and another week to review the tapes before you could get full scope of the fight.
Almost everyone walked away from the Thomas & Mack in Las Vegas shaking their heads because Rahman was winning the fight until the last round, give or take a few rounds, and lost the fight in the last round. The first fight was humiliating for Rahman, especially since there was not a network in the world not playing him rolling out of the ring over and over. And it was a frenzy to make a circus out of this fight too. It was a mess but it turned around in the champions favor. Although he did not win the fight and we all had a field day before the smoke cleared the air, in the end Rahman clearly won the fight in points but was caught off guard in the 12th round and never recovered.
Just that quick if you are not on your defense or paying attention to the very little things, your world can be turned upside down. Coming back from a hard hit and knock down from Maskaev, Rahman entered the center of the ring to touch gloves and got clobbered. He took his mind off the game for one second and the fight was over. The fight had extreme potential to land in the judges lap. There is no doubt that Maskaev is a strong boxer with concrete gloves, but Rahman has a hard head and was taking every blow like a man.
Rahman was lost focus in the last round, let his defense down and left himself open for the kill. Its simple, very true and fits to every aspect of life and sports. Concentration is the game, keep the rhythm or youll be out the game. Both fighters gave it theyre all and was both just as determined to win the title of WBC Heavyweight Champion of the World, but there can only be one winner. Maskaev holds the title now and its up to Rahman to get it back. Now that will be a rematch to see.
Las Vegas Boxing Gym Fundraiser
A local boxing gym that keeps youths of the city off the streets and out of trouble has served its community for a while now has to turn to that same community for help. We came from a time when we believed it takes a village to raise a child, but weve gotten so far from those days. Now the only thing that matters to most is time, money, gas and parking space. You may recall a past incident where Barrys Boxing Gym was closed to make additional parking for the strip club Treasures and ended up going out of business about a year ago, because they couldnt afford to keep up with building codes and improvements.
Las Vegas Boxing Gym located on 1201 S Commerce St, 5 blocks north of the Stratosphere helps over 300 at risk kids ages 7 to 17, and will soon have to deny those children an outlet from the busy and dangerous streets they live in. The lease at their current building is due to expire at the end of September. It will be leveled and turned into a multi level parking structure.
The Las Vegas Boxing club was started by 41 year old former amateur boxer Robert Johnston to ensure that the youth of Las Vegas valley have a healthy alternative to negative influences facing at risk kids by teaching self discipline, high-self esteem, educational skills and good citizenship. Although membership is only $25 a month, those who cannot pay could still train for free. No one is refused because they cant pay, the only requirement is to follow the rules, which is something most of them dont do in the streets or at home.
A huge mistake on Roberts part was going into a long-term verbal agreement with the current building owner, Raul Gil who is also the owner of the authentic Mexican restaurant Casa Don Juan. There was talk of Las Vegas Boxing purchasing the building and renting on the property longer than the eviction notice pronounces. Gil even claims that the new parking structure will house a boxing gym on site, but Robert will have to see it in writing to believe it. Now the Las Vegas Boxing Gym is forced to seek help and a new location. Word is the Palms may be hosting the upcoming fundraiser well keep you posted.
Training for boxing adds structure to otherwise chaotic lives, Robert told Las Vegas Sun news reporter Marshall Allen. Now Las Vegas Boxing is turning to its community for help finding a new location, raising donations for additional equipment and preparing the building for a gym. Every contribution to Las Vegas Boxing is tax deductible. Professional organizations, fighters and figures are perfect assets to this organizations cause because they could possibly provide sponsorships or financial assistance need to save Las Vegas Boxing.

KY 3rd Annual Louisville Slugfest
Contributed by Chris Webb, Seminole Warrior Boxing & Redline Media Group
Back in the saddle and on the road back to the heavyweight title, it may be an omen of good things to come when former World Champion Oliver McCall makes his debut in the hometown of the legendary Muhammad Ali on Saturday, September 9, whens he fights for the WBC Fecarbox championship against veteran knockout artist Darroll Wilson. Chris Webb Promotions, Seminole Warriors Boxing, and Sampson Lewkowicz are pleased to present this outstanding night of hard-hitting boxing action, live from the Louisville Gardens on Muhammad Ali Boulevard in Louisville, Kentucky. Azteca American TV will televise the show nationally.
Also featured on this nine bout card will be highly touted Isreali Heavyweight prospect Roman Greenberg, who will look to improve on his 22-0 (15 KOs) record against an opponent to be announced shortly. A dynamite puncher with a granite chin and world-class experience, Oliver McCall (47-8, 34 KOs) has been a staple among the top heavyweights for over two decades. The former WBC heavyweight champion, who is currently ranked 6th in the world by the WBC, won the World Title when he knocked out Lennox Lewis in the second round.
McCall has fought the best of this era and is still a force to be reckoned with in the heavyweight division. Unbeaten in his last seven fights, The Atomic Bull is coming off a first round TKO of veteran Kenny Craven in June. With a nickname like Doin Damage, you know that Darroll Wilson (27-8-2, 21 KOs) can hit hard. Just ask top contender Shannon Briggs, who suffered his first loss via a third round TKO by Wilson back in 1996.
Since then, Wilson has battled the top names in the division, such as David Tua, Bert Cooper, Tim Witherspoon, and Ray Mercer. He knows that a win over McCall on September 9 will be a huge step towards putting him back in the mix among the best at heavyweight. Doors open at 6:30PM and the action all starts at 7:30PM. Tickets are priced at a fight fan friendly $20, $40, and $75, go on sale on Monday, August 14th at all Ticket Master outlets or by calling 502.361.3100.

By Joe Nevills
A weanling half-sister to recent Grade 1 winner Unbridled Command became the first offering to break the six-figure mark Monday at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic December mixed sale. McMahon and Hill Bloodstock, agents for Edition Farm, purchased the Read the Footnotes filly for $100,000.
The gray or roan filly is out of the unraced Unbridled's Song mare Unbridled Betty, who has produced four winners from five to race. Her most successful offspring, Unbridled Command, won the Grade 1 Hollywood Derby on Nov. 25 and won the Grade 3 Saranac Stakes and a listed stakes earlier this year.
Bred in New York by Rhapsody Farm and Jon Davis, the weanling filly is from the family of multiple Grade 1 winner Manistique. She was consigned by Rhapsody Farm and Hidden Lake Farm, agents.
The weanling is the second-highest-priced foal out of Unbridled Betty to sell at public auction. Spring Beauty, a Consolidator filly, brought $130,000 at the 2008 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky selected yearling sale. Earlier this year, her yearling colt by Freud dropped the hammer at $82,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga New York-bred preferred sale.

Do I love wine? You bet. Even though I was raised in a family that didn't drink, when I was older I discovered a love for wine. Although I'm responsible and don't get drunk, I have to admit that wine is important to me. It's not just wine, but wineries, wine tasting, and wine making too.
1. I Love Wine Because It's Good for Heart Health
Wine, especially red wine, is high in antioxidants, which promote good cholesterol and help prevent artery damage (1). Of course, you're not doing your heart (or liver) any favors if you drink too much.
2. I Love Wine Because It Helps Me Live Longer
Ever wonder why the French, with their high fat diets and indulgent lifestyle live longer than others? It' could be the wine. Wine contains Resveratrol, a substance that has been shown in several studies to slow down the aging process. (2). Resveratrol is found in wine, especially red wine.
3. I Love Wine Because It Lowers Stress
Alcohol, when used in moderation, is a mild sedative, which means it can calm us down. After a long day at work or in high stress situations a glass of wine can create a calming, relaxing effect. After a long day of working, I love to slide into a comfy chair and have a glass of Merlot, my favorite variety.
4. I Love Wine Because of the Rich History and Diversity
Wine making has been around for thousands of years. The Bible and other ancient documents mention wine making. Not only that, but the wine lover can experience many different types of wine, including white wine, red wine, fruit wine, vegetable wine, etc.
Grape wines are named for the variety of grape used. White wines are wines like Chardonnay, Chablis, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling. Red wines are wines like Merlot, Shiraz (Syrah) Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Chianti. Depending on the fermentation process, dry wines and sweet wines are possible. Wine coolers are wine mixed with fruit juice and sometimes carbonation.
5. I Love Wine Because of the Socializing
Let's face it. If done responsibly and in moderation, wine drinking is fun. Even though I'm not a big drinker, I enjoy wine tastings, where there's no danger of getting drunk. It's fun to visit local wineries and sample the local culture along with regional wines.
Although wine should always be consumed in moderation, responsible, social drinking can be fun and a great way to meet new people.
Do you love wine too? Tell us why you love wine in the comments below. Make sure to check "post to Facebook" to share why you love wine (and your favorite varieties) with all your friends too!

A Mitraillette (French pronunciation: [mitʁajɛt], literally "Submachine gun"), is a Belgian dish available in friteries and cafés. It is thought to have originated in Brussels, but is also popular in Flanders, Wallonia and the Nord region of France, where it is also known as "Américain" (American sandwich).
A mitraillette consists of: A demi-baguette (a smaller version of a Baguette).
Fried meat (as sausage, burger, steak, frikandel). The meat varies with the friterie.
Salted fries

If Americans consider themselves connoisseurs of coffee, with a caffeine fix seemingly available on every corner, a journey across Seoul shows that South Korea has more than caught up. One of the world's biggest retail markets is now perhaps its most competitive coffee turf.
At least 100 academies across the country train baristas — and the unemployed can get the government to subsidize their training. Coffee shops offer valet parking, and some will even deliver cups of coffee to nearby homes.
Behind much of this Asian coffee boom, and uniquely positioned to benefit from it, is the company known stateside for the slogan "America runs on Dunkin'."
"It's more than just coffee's a big deal, or people are into coffee. It is a phenomenon… . It's a freaking phenomenon," said Stan Frankenthaler, Dunkin's executive chef and vice president of production innovation. "It's more intense than New York by far — the competitiveness, the saturation. You think you're going to see a lot of coffee shops on one block, and there's four times more than you even think. It's incredible."

don't know what I'm doing anymore.
Like darkness as it closes in. Gripping tight around my soul. Pulling me down into it's hole. I'm gonna be stuck once more. In that place I've been before. All too familiar is it going to be. I pray once more it sets me free.
Wish being what someone wanted wasn't so tough. Sorry I can't meet your expectations. But I'll keep trying with such high aspirations. When I fail will you let me fall? Leave me there and not look down at all? I'm just a let-down at best. I blend in with all the rest. Nothing special do I possess. I'm really typical, I must confess. Don't place your false hopes of something better in me. I'll dissappoint you because I'm not some fairytale boy from a movie. Just your average guy trying to make my way. Living life practically day by day. In the end you'll see right through that I'm no good, enough for you.

Light Weight

Right size
Made in China
Some Unintuitive Controls
Best Uses
Only able to carry kid up to 22 lbs may seem like a Con, but it makes the product more handily sized and weight less. something the buyer should take into considerations.

It's not perfect as some of the controls are not as easy to operate as they can be. but it costs less than average, so it's somewhat understandable.
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Pinot Noir ("black Pinot") is the primary grape of red Burgundy wines from France. Producers from that region have long set the standard for wines made from this temperamental grape, which is extremely sensitive to climate, soil and temperature.
But with warm days and cool nights, the Willamette Valley of Oregon, certain parts of New Zealand, and the Carneros and Russian River Valley areas of California are turning out better and better wines to challenge the dominance of Burgundy.
It is the grape's thin skin and sensitivity to weather that limits its geography. Slight temperature changes, poorly timed or too-hard rainfall, and other conditions may ruin the grape crop and limit the amount of quality wine in any year.
Pinot Noir (the wine) is opulent and velvety smooth, but there are distinctions. The French produce many lean and restrained versions, while American and New Zealand types are usually more full of fruit. Rich flavors and aromas of raspberry, strawberry, cherry, spice, earth and smoke entice the drinker.
Pinot Noir often has a light garnet or ruby color, or perhaps strawberry red. It is relatively high in alcohol (13% to 15%), medium to high in acidity and low in tannins. It is a great accompaniment to smoked or broiled salmon, pork dishes, lamb and some heavier meats. It complements roast turkey and some savory chicken dishes as well. The wine's acidity cuts through the fats and oils of these meats and cleanses the palate, readying the mouth for the next bite.
Interestingly, Pinot Noir—a red grape—is also the primary grape used in the production of Champagne. If a Champagne is made solely from red grapes—frequently all Pinot Noir—it is called blanc de noirs ("white wine from black grapes"). This kind of Champagne or sparkling wine is usually a bit heavier, richer and more golden in color compared to blanc de blancs ("white wine from white grapes"), which may be made exclusively from Chardonnay or a blend of red and white grapes.

text: I'll admit: I've got many a Valentine today. Coffee included in this said list. My good friend was able to hook me up with some local coffee yesterday. And sweet mother of pearl, I opened the container today and I probably could have skipped the French-Pressing part of the preparation and gone straight for consumption because it smelt so wonderful. Joe and I decided to celebrate Valentine's Day yesterday because this week is extremely busy for the both of us. So I picked up a few things and headed straight for his house, where I would begin preparing a surprise dinner for him (If you're wondering, this included Gluten-Free Fettuccine Alfredo, Balsalmic Roasted Parsnips and Carrots, and some homemade Gluten-Free Donuts for dessert). It was around 8:45pm when I'd finished cooking, with 1/3 of a bottle of wine consumed, and still no sign of the guy. Turns out, he'd been waiting to surprise me at my house for about a half an hour. Silly us. Anyhow, we sorted this out— fettuccine slightly cold—but still very delicious. Hoping everybody is having a wonderful day. Amanda

Choosing the right altar
This game will remind the children of what happened to the altars of the prophets of Baal and Elijah.
Equipment needed: Altar cards template (pdf)
Get all the children to line up in the middle of the room facing you. Tell them that in a minute they have to choose to move to their right or their left. On each side place a card with a picture of an altar on it. The children then move to one side or another. After they have done this the altar cards are turned over. One card will be blank and this represents the altar of the prophets of Baal. The other card will have a picture of an altar on fire representing the altar of Elijah that God set on fire. Those on the side of the prophet of Baal are eliminated from the game.

Live Binders is a site that allows the user to upload information to their "binder." (And when I say "binder," I mean it literally looks like a virtual 3-ring binder.) It allows users to insert "tab dividers" into their "binders," too, so there is an element of organization to it all. It looks like users can create as many binders as they want, so long as your total storage doesn't equal more than 100 MB. I realize that's not as much information as the free version of Dropbox allows, but it doesn't appear that a user would really NEED that much storage...
I haven't been using Live Binder very long (I'm going on 15 minutes at the moment...), so I may need to edit this post later. But it appears that a user wouldn't really NEED that much storage, since all you'd really be posting is web links. It doesn't appear that users can upload files (Word docs, Excel, PowerPoints, etc.) to the binders -- just URLs. The tutorial suggests that, once downloaded, you place the "LiveBinder It" button on your search bar. When you find a website you'd like to add to the binder, you just click that button, and it automatically is added for you.
I was hoping this might be an alternative to the English binders I have my students keep in class (which consist of the syllabus, agendas, notes, handouts, and graded papers), but...no such luck. However, this would be great for a teacher to use on his/her classroom website. Instead of cluttering your webpage with lots of links, you could just post the Live Binder, instead. Much less clutter on your website, and the links would display beautifully when the "binder" is opened.
This might be beneficial for students if they were creating a lot of web documents throughout the school year. THEN this Live Binder might be useful as a type of portfolio. For instance, if Bobby does a Glog over the Great Depression, a Prezi over the life and times of William Shakespeare, a Voki character summary over his favorite person from Lord of the Flies, a Fake Wall over Edgar Allan Poe, AND has a full Shelfari bookshelf by the end of the semester, he could create a Live Binder to display all 6 assignments he'd done. He could even include particularly compelling blog posts in his Live Binder portfolio... All Bobby would have to do is retrieve the URLs from those projects and post them in his Live Binder. From there, all he'd have to do is e-mail his teacher the link to the Live Binder, and his semester portfolio is done.
On a simpler note: maybe Live Binder is an alternative to having students e-mail their teacher the link to their online project(s). Maybe each student should have a Live Binder and keep links to all online projects in that binder. Then, when it's time to grade, the teacher just opens the binders and begins to grade....
Hmm. I'm imagining the possibilities riiiiight nowwwww.....
::Edit:: I just made my first Live Binder, and it's full of English links. I typically have an "English links" page on my classroom website, as well as a "Resources" page. The English links are, obviously, all links that are related to English. The "resources" are more "life-related" links: medical disorders or disabilities, hotlines (such as for abuse, bullying, etc.), info on college and scholarships, and some encouraging quotes for those hard times. If I make Live Binders of each, I can condense everything to one "Links" page, and save myself some time and space on my classroom website! Plus, I can update all the time without messing up the entire layout of the site. Whoo-hoo! Here's the link to my English Links Live Binder. It still needs some tweaking, but I'll get it figured out soon. Also, I found out that you CAN upload documents. I tried it with just a picture, and it worked perfectly. I assume it also works with Microsoft Word docs, too, but I guess I'll have to find out next time I play with it.
Oh, and I just realized that I don't have to give you the actual link to my English binder because...oh, look at that...it can be embedded onto your own personal website! Ahh! Can't this get any better?!

Oh, wait. Yes. Yes, it can get better. There's an iPad app: LiveBinders :)

Independent content is the new web app
Attending SXSW Interactive not only tunes us in to web trends and ideas we may have missed, it also makes clear where we are in the life cycle of developments with which we are familiar. Thus in 2001, if you weren't already aware of it, a quick scan of panels and parties made it manifestly obvious that blogging had peaked. The spread of web standards was the previous year's meme: practically everyone I met in 2000 apologized that their blog didn't validate "yet."
Two years ago, everyone I talked to at SXSW Interactive asked what app I was working on. I felt painfully unhip to still be doing content and design—like I'd shown up for a punk gig in disco drag.
But times change. Even the quickest scan of this year's parties and sponsors made it obvious (if it wasn't already) that the Web 2.0 "get bought" window is closing fast. If your tag management app isn't out of alpha by next week, don't bother—unless you actually wanted to create a tag management app, and weren't building it to finance a Sean John lifestyle.
I came away this year with two impressions:
- Possibly because "Web 2.0″ has pumped money into the field, people care about the craft again.
- Web 1.0 is the new Web 2.0.
As the second point is more interesting, I'll focus on it.
SWSX Interactive is about zeitgeist, and what's on people's business cards can tell you as much about the industry as what's being discussed on the panels. Last year people's business cards told you that AOL, Google, Apple and Yahoo were hiring everyone with a nice blog, a SXSW panel, and an A List Apart article to their credit. This year's business cards are about (drumroll) content.
The kind of content we used to create on personal/independent sites like {fray} and afterdinner.com, many of us are creating again (not that we ever stopped). But this time, we are creating it at the behest of companies like AOL, Google, and Yahoo.
Ficlets, for example, is a collaborative fiction site put together by Cindy Li and her colleagues. It's awesomely cool. But instead of being something Cindy and her colleagues do at night, after their day job, Ficlets is their day job. And it's not a long-shot day job at an underfunded startup. It's a day job at America On-Line (and the content is part of the AIM.com network).
Not long ago, giants like AOL were buying startups like Brian Alvey and Jason Calacanis's Weblogs Inc. network. That was smart. Now the giants are creating their own startups and networks. That's also smart, and it's doubtless more cost-efficient than hunting and buying.
What is the trend? First, big companies (excluding AOL) ignored the web. Then they hired professionals who didn't understand the web to design their sites and other professionals who didn't understand the web to create their content. Last year, or maybe two years ago, these companies began hiring smart, experienced web designers who understand usability and web standards. Now they are hiring smart, experienced web content creators. Web 1.0 is the new Web 2.0. Long live Web 3.0.

Bill said on 15 March 2007 at 11:37 am:
Can anybody recommend a book or two on writing quality web content? It's something many people always preach but nobody ever explains exactly what "quality web content" is. There are people who say "write to your audience", but that is vague. Nielsen recommends writing on an 8th grade level. Every SEO company in the world will say to write using keywords strewn throughout the text (how awful is that to read???). What if you have an e-commerce site, how should content be written? There are a ton of questions I have but I am having trouble finding good resources to help develop the skills required to write quality web content. This sounds like a frustrated rant but interpret it as a desperate cry for help.
Jason Garber said on 15 March 2007 at 12:46 pm:
Jeffrey, it was great meeting you (albeit briefly) in Austin and we're all psyched you're enjoying Ficlets! It's been really satisfying working as a startup within AOL and we're hoping to spread that bug into other areas of the company. Cheers!

pauldwaite said on 15 March 2007 at 1:45 pm:
Bill: haven't read any books on the subject, but I think it boils down to:
1. Keep it succinct (cos people scan more and read less on screens).
2. Use headings, paragraphs and lists to indicate the individual ideas in the writing (cos whilst scanning, people will process the shapes and thus get an idea of the structure much more easily than actually reading).
3. Keep it succinct. I know I said this before, but it bears hammering home: good writing is conveying the same information with fewer words.
Great examples on daringfireball.net.

Marla Erwin said on 15 March 2007 at 3:15 pm:
Bill, "quality content" has two parts: 1) you have to have something interesting to say, and 2) you have to present it in a way people can (and want to) read and retain.
For the first part, you either have an interesting idea or you don't. See Seth Godin's marketing books for some pointers on developing/recognizing good ideas and making them "stick."
For the second part, there are a few books that touch on the subject, but most boil down to the same points as this eyetracking study of how users read and retain news: make it scannable, don't scrimp on whitespace, and use images that say something.

Ara Pehlivanian said on 15 March 2007 at 4:02 pm:
Does that mean though that because content creation is on the rise, that site design is (going to be) in decline? Or can the two co-exist and thrive together?
Chris Huff said on 15 March 2007 at 6:06 pm:
Ara: No, I don't think that it means this at all. I think that good design will be assumed. Sites must be designed well, or else they will distract from the content. But we must remember (and I think this is why the trend is going this direction) that it is the content that makes up the internet. Design is a mode by which we communicate that information.
Ara Pehlivanian said on 15 March 2007 at 9:15 pm:
@Chris: You know what's funny, I distinctly remember Jeffrey talking about standards based design freeing us up to focus on content eons ago (in the first edition of his book I think). I guess it's finally catching on … ;)

Bill Slawski said on 21 March 2007 at 1:40 pm:
Every SEO company in the world will say to write using keywords strewn throughout the text (how awful is that to read???).
As an internet marketer who helps people with the SEO on their sites, I'd like to respond to that comment, Bill.
Certainly people should use words that their audience will expect to see, and will search with to find that content in the first place. There's nothing wrong with making some intelligent choices about the words that you use when you write something.
But the practice of writing for people and for search engine optimization is pretty much the same – use a particular phrase to be the subject of a page and then use that phrase naturally within the engaging and thoughtful prose you create for that page. Chances are good that because it is the subject of the page, you will use it in the title to the page, the main heading, and in the body text of what you write. You likely will even use it in links to the page, and others will use it to link to you.
It's not a question of writing something, and then stuffing it with keywords, but rather using your keyword phrase as the subject of what you write, and then writing naturally. Take the post at the top of these comments, for example. The focus of the post is "independent content." It appears in the page title, it appears in the post title/main heading, and it could easily and naturally appear once or twice in the body text of the post, without the post being "horrible to read." Many links to the post will likely use the post title in the anchor text of the link.
Good writing for SEO purposes isn't a matter of stewing a dictionary of keywords through text, but rather of writing intelligently, with focus. In a few days or weeks, this page has a chance of ranking well for the phrase "independent content" because of that focus.
Places to learn about writing quality content?
Any good book on writing fiction or prose will likely help you learn about writing quality content for the web. Sitting down and writing, and writing some more, and then some more will even bring you further. Write some fiction, try out some sonnets, haiku, lymericks, satire, letters to friends.
Read some good books, and think critically about them, and how the writer reaches out to his or her audience, evokes emotions, gets you to care about different characters, gets you to maintain an interest in the story, tells you about the setting.
Go to places like Poynter online, and read through the many articles about journalism, editing, photo journalism. There are many blogs from marketers and copy writers who describe what they do when they write to audiences.

The rapid evolution of content equally requires sophisticated philtering phor phreeing up time phinding phavorable rather than phony content. The net effect of generating such massive amounts of content is a new Web 2.0 filtering, aggregation, and SEO industry providing jobs to techos and communication creatives while content producers hedge their bets on Affiliation and Adsense as a viable source of income.

I found this post by googling 'collaborative fiction weblogs,' because- well, I've been feeling rather at sea in describing my site to people and what it is, exactly. It's kind of a fiction/humor thing, there are several writers and it's not strictly a weblog.
It's more of a zine that happens to use weblog software in order to publish online. I mean, is there more of this out there? Is there some sort of organization of it all? None of the major directories have a specific category for it- it's just broken into whatever genre… It seems like this medium is perfect for something like this- easy to publish, easy to let people know whenever a new 'piece' is up, etc. There's just that odd stigma that the weblog format tacks onto the whole thing.

George Hu's misfortune on set
The 31-year-old might be better known for his 2009 idol drama ToGetHer with Jiro Wang and Rainie Yang. However, the lanky actor is encouraged by the fact that he has an increasingly warm reception with each visit to our shores.
A rising actor in Taiwan, George Hu had won leading roles in various projects in recent years, including blockbuster period drama Prince of Lan Ling.In his most recent project Love Around, the American born Chinese plays a rich second generation of a triad leader, who became a dispirited soul after a sudden breakup with his long-time girlfriend.
When he was filming Love Around, George let on that it was the first time he felt the hardships of being an actor after almost seven years in the business.
For one, he sustained a back injury as a result of playing baseball, which was a sport that the actor had to become familiar with as it was required of the role.
During the interview, George's manager revealed that the actor has been seeking treatment for more than two months now, and had even gone through an acupuncture session prior to his trip to Singapore.
Aside from physical pains, the good-looking star was put in a spot when he was made to film an emotional scene in a toilet at the immigration office in Taiwan. Initially due to film at the customs office, the crew was forced to make a last minute change in location when permission was not granted at the site.
"The original plan was to have me sobbing uncontrollably. But as a result of filming in a toilet, I could not get into the right mood, and tears just couldn't flow. In the end, I could only film the scene looking sorrowful and emotionless."

Much has been written about infant safety with regard to crib design and construction but we were more concerned with the safety of toddlers when we brought on our new line of kid-friendly furniture for children over the age of 12 months.;
Our main focus at Vermont Woods Studios Furniture has always been American made contemporary solid wood furniture but we recently launched a line of recycled plastic, "POLYWOOD®" indoor-outdoor children's furniture.; Health and safety concerns were the main factor in deciding which line of kid-friendly furniture to carry.; We did evaluate a number of lines of solid wood kid's furniture, but considering the special needs and vulnerabilities of small children we decided in the end to go with POLYWOOD®, recycled plastic all weather kid's furniture. It's excellent health and safety rating, strong, sturdy, low-maintenance design and the non-toxic, inert nature of the product were compelling.;
With POLYWOOD® children's furniture, parents don't have to worry about sharp corners and edges either as they are designed with a gentle curve.; Cleaning and maintenance are kid-friendly -- POLYWOOD® furniture can be cleaned with mild soap and water.; Sunbrella cushions are available with POLYWOOD® furniture and as boaters and outdoorsmen know, these cushions are well able to withstand the effects of sun and weather while being washable and durable for many years.
For parents of toddlers and young children, it's worth noting that most children's furniture found in American stores today is imported from overseas where there is little regulation of health, safety and toxicity. That's why we see product recalls for things like toxic lead and cadmium levels in paint finishes and failure of cheap moving parts. At Vermont Woods Studios we wanted to carry an American made collection of kids indoor-outdoor furniture that would exceed US health and safety regulations.; POLYWOOD® does that.
Our contemporary Poly Wood Kids Furniture Collection has several advantages other than health and safety: it is well-designed, sturdy, colorful, weatherproof, maintenance-free and stylish. POLYWOOD® Childrens' Adirondack chairs and picnic tables can be customized online in a variety of 12 vibrant colors and carry a lifetime guarantee as well as a low-price guarantee. POLYWOOD® was designed for rugged outdoor use, but our customers tell us they are using it for both indoor and outdoor play areas, and the kids love it!
