STAPLES Center, Los Angeles, CA
LOS ANGELES -- The Clippers are more than just Blake Griffin, Chris Paul and a no-name supporting cast.
Ask the Houston Rockets.
Griffin had 22 points and nine rebounds before sitting out most of the fourth quarter, Paul added 20 points and 10 assists, and the Clippers cruised to a 117-89 victory over Houston on Wednesday night.
But it was the combined efforts of Chauncey Billups, DeAndre Jordan, Caron Butler and reserve guard Randy Foye that helped turn the game into a laugher.
"We have so many weapons. And when guys are hitting shots, it's tough to stop us," Griffin said. "With Chauncey and Caron (Butler) and D.J. at the rim, it's hard to guard all those things. So most of the time we get open looks and high-percentage shots. The key is just not forcing shots."
Paul was 9 for 14 from the field and had three steals, extending his streak to 14 consecutive games with at least one. Foye locked it up by scoring 14 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter. Jordan had eight rebounds and seven points in 28 minutes, failing to block an opponents' shot for the first time in his last 19 games.
Billups returned to the lineup, playing his first home game with the Clippers after sitting out two because of a sore groin. He scored 13 points in 22 minutes. The five-time All-Star, claimed from the New York Knicks in a waiver auction Dec. 12, averaged 16 points in his first two games with the club.
"He just gives us another solid guard -- and a great guard," Griffin said. "He always takes care of the ball, he gets good shots and gets everyone else involved. Having a guy like that, it's hard to put a price on that."
Billups was instrumental in the Clippers holding Kevin Martin to 14 points, after he averaged 23.8 over his previous four games. Martin took only nine shots in 25 1/2 minutes.
"It was a team thing, and it started with Chauncey," Griffin said. "But every time Martin got in the lane, DeAndre was making him take tough shots. Martin is a great player. Tonight he missed a few shots that he normally hits. We were fortunate, but we did a good job on him."
Kyle Lowry had 17 points and five assists for the Rockets, who won 25 of their previous 31 games against the Clippers and held them under 100 points in 14 of the previous 15 meetings. Houston played without reserve swingman Courtney Lee, who injured his right calf Tuesday night in a 108-99 loss to the Lakers.
"We struggled with everything tonight," forward Luis Scola said. "We came in here and weren't ready to play, and this is what happens when you don't play hard. I don't know how to explain it. What you do about it the next game shows what kind of team you are."
Houston's two best defensive efforts last season -- in terms of lowest field goal percentage by an opponent -- were against the Clippers. Los Angeles shot 36.4 percent in a 96-83 loss, and 34.7 percent in a 99-78 defeat.
"We made mistakes offensively and defensively," Lowry said. "It's just something we've got to figure out. We can't have nights like this. It was a terrible day for us."
Paul, who averaged 20.6 points and 10.0 assists in his previous 16 games against Houston while playing for the New Orleans Hornets, had 11 points and six assists in the first quarter to help the Clippers build a 67-55 halftime lead. Los Angeles ended the half shooting 67.5 percent while committing four of its seven turnovers.
Reserve guard Ryan Gomes beat the first-quarter buzzer with a 17-footer from the left baseline for a 41-26 margin. The Rockets narrowed the gap to 47-40 on Lowry's 3-pointer with 7:38 left in the second quarter, but got no closer the rest of the game as the Clippers pulled away in the third.
Griffin, who went to the bench for good with 10:17 remaining, finished with 16 points in the paint -- including a dunk off an alley-oop pass from Paul to cap an 18-7 run and give Los Angeles a 85-62 cushion with 5:47 left in the third.
"It's been great playing with him," Paul said. "He is a workhorse. I saw that when I played against him, but playing on the same team with him, you really appreciate how hard he works. But it's our job as guards -- me, Chauncey and the other guards -- not to make him have to work so hard. We're here to make his job easier, so that's what we're going to continue to try to do."
Houston coach Kevin McHale emptied his bench during the ensuing timeout, and the Rockets scored the next four points. Moments later, Griffin and reserve center Samuel Dalembert nearly got into it under the Clippers' basket before they were separated by Jordan.
The fourth quarter became a showcase for Foye, who scored 10 points in the first 3:42 to help the Clippers increase a 15-point lead to 102-76. He added a layup to make it a 30-point advantage with 5:07 to play.
Game notes
Sitting in the second row across from the Rockets' bench were Steve Garvey and Orel Hershiser, who are in a group that is trying to purchase the Dodgers from Frank McCourt. Among their competition is Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. ... Rockets reserve F Marcus Morris, the 14th pick in the draft, has played only 17 minutes in the team's first six games. Twin brother Markieff, drafted one spot ahead of him by Phoenix, has played 117 minutes through the Suns' first six games. ... This is the fifth time the Rockets have played the Clippers and Lakers back-to-back at Staples Center on the same trip since the building opened in 1999-00, and the first time they lost both. They came out with a split the other four times.

How did you know? Well you were under their bed waiting to scare mommy Norway as he got out but he didn't. You layed there counting then you felt it. A sneeze coming on. Oh no, you thought.

Wilderness is Our Home (GermanyXReader) Every part of your body was still, you felt the coldness of the blizzard slip into your feet and crawling up through your body. You tried not to move as the animal walked to another tree to eat some of the pilling trunk. Quietly you pull back your loaded bow, ignoring the protest of your limbs, you aimed at the chest of the beast. Closing one (e/c) orb you took a deep breath and released the string, sending the arrow flying to the unsuspecting animal. It quickly fell to the found and you felt pride rush through your entire body, finally warmth filled your body as you walked towards the animal. You took a quick glance around as you reached for the arrow, once you were sure no one was around you pulled out the arrow and placed it in the bag behind you that was holding ten other ones. Smiling you let out a whistle signaling your brother that it was okay to come out of hiding. Quietly the young blo
Danke schon~ (Germany x Reader)You remembered the first time you met Germany...~*FLASHBACK*~"Hölle....Italy, come back here NOW!!""Nein, nein! Pastaaaa~!",Said the shorter Italian male, mocking the German. He suddenly shot past you like a bullet as you yelped and fell, but a strong pair of arms caught you before your body had a chance to make contact with the ground."T-thank you...""Ja. No problem. Zhat dummkopf Italy vas going to knock you over, anyways."~*END FLASHBACK*~You two had been buddies ever since. Something clicked when you two met, and everything fell into place. A small smile, although a sad one, graced your delicate features, but was quickly replaced by a frown. You shouldn't be smiling on this day. It just didn't feel right to do so.You looked out the window, seeing sunshine and blooming flowers. Shaking your head, tears threatened to escape the barriers you had put up.It was unfair. A hardworking, seemingly unmovable man. Dead. From a bombing. It was a random, meaningless attack. But he was

" he whispered before his eyes rolled back in his head and he blacked out.---Ludwig awoke in a plain room, furnished only by his small bed and a little bedside table with a vase of wilted flowers sat upon it. He heard the sound of footsteps ringing on the hard stone floor and called out in German."Hier! Ich brauche etwas!"A head poked around the corner, cold (e/c) eyes boring into him. "Yes?" The woman asked in harsh English."Wo bin ich?"She sighed, "I don't speak German. If you need someone you does, I can get Dr. Heisen but that will take a minute.

GermanyxReader RequestYou were trying to nap on the couch, but your stupid cat insisted that you let it out at this very moment right now and was pawing at the front door. Even though he was declawed, he was still annoying as all heck. You groaned and stood up, slowly shuffling to the door. You unlocked it and opened it a crack and your cat ran out. You heard a gasp on the other side of the door. You slowly opened it and there, standing on your porch in jeans and a black t-shirt with a bunch of (fave flower) in one hand, was your friend Ludwig.He looked really nervous; he was sweating and his free hand was clenched into a tight fist, turning white at the knuckles. He stared uncertainly at you."Are you ok Ludwig?" you asked."Uh, um, hallo _______. I vas vondering if um, you vould vant to um, go on a date viz me?" he asked.You giggled at how cute he was when he was nervous. You really liked him and you weren't afraid to talk and be around him, however, you were afraid of confessing
MeltMeltGermany X Reader-Slowly you watched the small, shy flame flicker on the burnt wick of the candle on the table in front of you. All was dark inside the living room as you sat on the floor, resting your elbow on the wooden surface of coffee table and noticing how the small mass of immense heat would wave and bend with each breath you let out.You sighed and leaned back against the soft couch behind you, watching the flame dance in the darkness around it, fighting it off like a knight would a dragon. On these silent of nights you would often find an untouched candle within the house and light it, sitting in front of the burning substance to watch how the flame moved and glided gracefully and expressing the passion that you wished you could express to your one and only love. But you couldn't, at least not at that moment.Leaning forward, you let one of your soft fingers glide along the smooth surface of the candle, catching a drop of hot wax that had been making its journey do
Germany x Reader How to Save a Life Chapter 1Chapter 1It was so long ago. I can barely remember the time before the holocaust, the time before I met the mysterious man who had ended up saving my life.You turned the corner sharply, your brisk pace drawing little attention from passerbyers. You despretly hoped the Gestapo didn't see you - being Jewish, your features were a little obvious to the trained eye.Turning another street as quickly as the first, you ran straight into the black jacket of a tall man. Looking up and squinting against the bright sun, your (e/c) eyes connected with this mans icy blue ones. Immediately you blush and apologize several times in German, but this made the man's mouth harden."Frau, I believe you need to come with me." The man said bluntly, the thick German accent making it difficult for you to understand, and you forced yourself not to tremble in fear at his mere voice. He turned around, expecting you to follow, and you noticed his Gestapo uniform and his slicked back blonde hair. Th
It's Not Worth Your Life (GermanyXReader)It had just become too much for you to handle. It had been a mere three months since your whole family had been killed in a car crash. You had been arguing in the back seat with your brother, and when your father turned his gaze away from the road for a mere moment to reprimand you, the car blew a red light and was crushed by the massive semi truck that was passing through the intersection at that moment.When you woke up three days later, arm in a cast and stitches in your forehead, the awful news was given to you in the kindest words possible, but it made no difference. Your family was dead. It was inconceivable at the time, your mother, your father, your little brother, all gone? Impossible!But as the days went by, the truth slowly sank into your brain. They were gone, and it was all your fault. Days were spent in the hospital, slowly healing while watching the world go by around you from a window by your bed, wondering how those people could look so happy while you were oh so brok

Tuesday marks four years since an announcement that promised to change the Louisville skyline forever, but construction is still on hold for Museum Plaza, which would be the tallest skyscraper in Louisville.
Developer Craig Greenberg, one of four developers of the project, says he remains hopeful, adding that there has been some progress, such as the removal of both LG and E's 10 story transmission tower and underground duct banks for electrical transmission lines. Yet, after financing became "nearly impossible" in the national credit crisis, Greenberg says he is no longer making predictions for a construction start date.
"We unfortunately got stuck by the unprecedented national financial crisis that made it nearly impossible to complete the financing for the project, but we continue to work extremely hard to making this project a reality," Greenberg said.
Everything about Museum Plaza is big.
- At 703 feet, it would be 73 feet taller than the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, MO.
- It has an estimated price tag of $490 million.
- About $150 million in city and state money is funding infrastructure improvements around the project.
- And, it's been a big wait to see any significant progess.
So is Museum Plaza still going to happen?
"It's still going to happen, as planned," insisted Greenberg. "We've looked at it every which way, in terms of tweeking the plan as time has passed but this still makes the most sense for all sorts of reasons. And it will happen."
Even Greenberg acknowledges that the longer it takes to begin construction, public doubts will increase.
"We hear it directly and mostly third hand. We understand that there are skeptics out there but all I can tell you is that there is an extremely committed team in place here," and the original architect and team of developers are all still on board, Greenberg said.
A future downtown neighbor, Barbara Sexton-Smith, who lives in a Main Street condo, said "I think it's human nature for someone to be skeptical, but this baby's going to fly. I never doubted for one second that Museum Plaza wasn't going to make it. And just think of what it's going to do for not only the skyline of our community, but for economic development, and job growth. This is going to be the greatest thing to happen not only in Jefferson County, but in the Commonwealth of Kentucky."
Museum Plaza is actively marketing the residences for sale in a sales office at 7th and Main downtown. A sample 3100 square foot condo offers a photograph of the view from the 40th floor. The "model home" condo would cost about $1 million.
The project includes about 150 condominiums, a Westin Hotel, and an art museum and several businesses in the island at mid-structure.
Construction was brought to halt two years ago after neighbors in 19th century buildings complained about the vibrations from drilling for huge concrete pillars ten feet into solid bedrock.
"We believe we've addressed all of these issues and when we restart construction, we will be installing the foundations with a different method than we originally used," Greenberg disclosed.
He said that he's hopeful that construction will start this year. With a 30 month construction timeline, the earliest Museum Plaza would be complete is late 2012. But there is a silver lining to this delay -- Greenberg revealing today that it could cost significantly less than originally forecast because construction and raw material costs have dropped in a down economy.

TDHCA Adds HUD, USDA Vacancies to Katrina Housing Database
TDHCA has added vacant units in properties funded through HUD and the US Department of Agriculture to its online database of available rental housing. The Department created this searchable database to aid evacuees from Hurricane Katrina in finding a long-term solution to their housing needs in the city of their choice. The database contains location and contact information for over 1000 rental units in Texas.
The Department continues to play a key role in the state's efforts to respond to hurricanes Katrina and Rita. TDHCA and its network of Community Service Block Grant contract agencies, for example, have assisted over 80,000 people with housing, food, transportation, and a wide variety of other essential emergency services. Several staff members also spent time in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Tyler working directly with evacuees, helping direct them to vacant units and out of city shelters.

Iran to Send Escorted Aid to Gaza
The Iranian Red Crescent says it will send two aid ships to Gaza shortly. The move has been supported by the country's navy saying it's ready to escort any humanitarian convoys to the blockaded area. And, as Paula Slier reports, this is threatening to escalate the already tense relations between Tehran and the Jewish State..

General Disconation / Re: Streamers - Birds Catching Fire Over Solar Panel Farms« on: August 20, 2014, 09:19:27 PM »
i can see the simplicity of this (bird-frying aside) being much more cost effective than setting up a wad of solar cells (which would be more expensive, need a lot of wiring, more maintenence, etc. vs just a bunch of mirrors.)
Conventional solar PV is actually a lot less maintenance. The panels themselves are projected to produce power after 50 years. The primary weak point in the system is the delicate wiring and devices used to convert DC power into AC.
Whereas with solar heat generation, you are operating an entire turbine steam generation plant which is very dangerous and requires constant maintenance.

Here are some interesting things I've come across in the last couple of days:
- Greg Galant talks about How to Build a Business on Amazon's Back. Greg has some great ideas for the use of the Amazon Mechanical Turk, Amazon Simple Storage Service, and the Alexa Top Sites.
- Eventsites is very cool, and here's how it works. Just like the S3 Ajax Wiki, there's no server code behind this site. There's something profoundly cool and fundamentally important about that, and as soon as I get my brain around it I will be sure to say a lot more.
- The new XML Hacks book looks pretty good, based on the table of contents. There are some sample hacks available online. Some of the more intriguing topics include use of character and entity references, use of XML in various Microsoft Office applications, transforming documents using XSLT, using XML vocabularies, and use of XML schemas.
- The MIT Technology Review discusses Amazon S3 in their new article, Infinite Storage Online. As they note, "The line between your local hard drive and the cloud of Web-based storage options is certain to get blurrier over the next year, and backing up your data to that cloud will become an automatic part of your computer's job."
- Phil Windley reviews my panel session from WWW 2006 in Edinburgh earlier this week. Panel host Rohit Khare had a spectacular set of wide-ranging questions for the panelists, and the audience came up with a lot more of their own. Since there are reportedly more sheep than humans in Scotland, I felt compelled to mention the 10,000 sheep site in my talk.
- After you've built a site with an Amazon web service, you probably want some traffic. You'll want to read Search Engine Optimizing for Amazon Web Services to learn more about this important and very interesting topic.
- Wired Magazine talks about Crowdsourcing, which they describe as "everyday people using their spare cycles to create content, solve problems, even do corporate R & D." The article includes an extended discussion of the Mechanical Turk on the final page. They spend some time discussing Seattle startup iConclude and their use of HITs to capture diagnosis and repair information for common computer problems.
And that's all I've got for today!

Day 2
A light drizzle turned to showers as we gathered again, pouring over our receipts, snacks and clippings from magazines. Initial nerves are now replaced with the comfort of familiarity, excitement at the possibility of a big group effort, and a healthy amount of apprehension about making big decisions together.
We started the day by having students work on collages for a few collective zines we are making. It was a great feeling all working together and everyone in their own little zone creating. Each person was charged with creating pages around each of the concepts: "labor," "money," "play," and "action." We shared individual pages with each other and launched into a conversation based on the Marx reading from the night before and the short reading by William Morris called "Art and Socialism." We read sections out loud to the group and debated the merits and faults of capitalism, the idea of productivity, and the role of competition in the market and in our own personal lives.
The students all had really differing opinions. Some students spoke from their own experiences while others spoke more broadly and referred to texts that they had read or heard about before. The discussion got particularly heated around the question of whether competition was an immutable part of human nature with one student asserting "Survival of the fittest is human nature just because the biggest asshole beats everyone up and says it's human nature!"
In terms of competition in the workshop, it's definitely a challenge making sure that everyone's voice is heard. It's often tricky when there are a few students who are more assertive than others, so as facilitators, we are constantly working on making sure to distribute that power to everyone present.

Student Feedback on the Day:
[The work] was hard! I was totally surprised by the level of discussion and expectations of Hong-An and Huong. I underestimated the project and I was happy and intimidated by the difficulty. I am sick of worshippers of Marx, but I haven't bothered to really read the "Manifesto" so I'm a pretentious doo doo butt. We all have "it" much better than we think we do and we all have "it" worse at the same time, it just depends on how we look at "it".

Be Better Online - the Swedish Yamondo Partner - conducted a survey regarding the development of the online marketing activities among the Global Performance Alliance. Yamondo now consists of 15 independent online marketing agencies and is handling around 1,800 clients worldwide. The network took a closer look at the results and the recent developments in the online market in order to find out what to expect in 2013.
A new marketplace among search engines in China is beginnig to take shape, according to the report published on October 2012 by CNZZ (China's traffic statistics service provider, an Alibaba Group subsidiary). The new market share is as follows:
Qihoo 360
The software company Qihoo, known for its antivirus software 360 Safeguard, launched its new browser "360" in early 2012 and by August they launched its 360 search engine. From September to October 2012, Qihoo 360 moved from 7.3% to 9.64% percent of the Chinese market share and captured second place.
During the same time period, Baidu market share went down from approximately 75% to 72.97% and Google moved down from 5.1% to 4.72%.
Despite the tough battle developing between Qihoo, Baidu, Google and others, the fact is that internet penetration remains low in China and there is still plenty of growth. This new level of comptetion among search engines will only create more opportunities for companies that understand how to create an effective online marketing strategy and search engine optimization adaptable to the Chinese market.
In 2013, SoLoMo (social, local and mobile) will become an even more important element of every SEO strategy.
SoLoMo is the integration of social signals, local searches and mobile technology into one interactive channel that brings together consumers and merchants at a more personal level. The idea of mobile SEO or SoLoMo as something new will soon be obsolete. SEO will naturally evolve into a discipline that includes mobile, local and social.
The importance of SoLoMo goes beyond the statistics and forecasts about the future of mobile technology. Recently, Starbucks created a mobile app, which provided directions, hours of operation and the phone number of the nearest Starbucks store, as well as mobile payment options, a loyalty program called "My Starbucks Rewards" and direct integration into Facebook. This is a great campaign, which represents a new way of branding that links consumers and companies into a more rewarding relationship. Find out what you can do within the Starbucks app.
During 2012, search engine optimization (SEO) was transformed by the implementation of Google's Panda and Penguin updates.
These changes will continue to impact search engine results. The difference between top rankings and being penalized is to produce websites with "authority". Thus, a higher standard must be applied to produce high quality content that integrates smart link building, social media content and real organic content written on an ongoing basis.
As expected with any new innovation, there was a lot exaggerated backlash against Google's Panda and Penguin. However, if we analyze the figures a different story emerges. For example, in April 2012, Libako conducted a research of the websites affected by the first Penguin update listed on Sistrix's blog and identified the 20 winners and the 20 losers.
This study revealed that the biggest rank booster was the use of "authority links". This authority comes from technical reports, articles or press releases published by highly qualified sources in each industry. However, the use of authority links should not exceed more than 15% of the link profile. For example, if we analyze the use of backlinks among those in the survey, we can determine the following:
- 50% of all the winners: 1% to 14 % of their backlinks are authority links
- 80% of all the losers: less than 1% of their backlinks are authority links
Since September 2012, Google initiated a major review and implementation of the terms of service (TOS) ruling AdWords API (application programming interface). These changes caused hundreds of developers and SEO tools like Raven and SEOmoz to have their AdWords API access revoked by Google without prior notification.
However, these changes to the AdWords API TOS did not apply to Google Analytics or Webmaster Tools or any other Google API. Google initiated a review process to re-issue access to third party developers using AdWords. Third party developers, including SEO tool developers, had to provide a lot of design documentation, screenshots and specific examples to explain their use of their API tool. Furthermore, Google wanted each developer to provide an automated list of clients for each API application.
On January 3, 2013, after 19 months of investigation, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) ruled not to take legal action against Google. The conclusion of the FTC was "Google's services are good for users and good for competition" and it did not manipulate search results to favor its products. However, a ruling from the European Commission is still pending on the same case. In the meantime, Google has agreed to make several concessions to be implemented in the next 60 to 90 days:
- Websites will be able to opt out from Google Search and to be removed from
specialized search results pages, such as local, travel and shopping, etc.
- Advertisers will be able to export their ad campaigns data from Google
AdWords to a third-party service based on AdWords API.
We will have to wait and see how these changes will affect SEO tools in 2013.
Facebook's Instagram recent announcement to change its terms of use caused an immediate protest from consumers and privacy advocates, leading to what is probably the first class action lawsuit against a company for changing its terms of service.
Instagram, the popular service which allows people to easily share photos on the internet, as well as add filters and effects, announced on December 17, 2012, its intention to make changes to its terms of service effective mid-January. A consumer advocate law firm has already filed a class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California against Instagram for breach of contract and other claims.
The new terms of service proposed by Instagram included a new clause in the service agreement, without any options to opt out, by which users had to waive their rights to participate in a class action lawsuit. The announcement was interpreted as Instagram's intention to sell photos and other content without compensation to the owners. Instagram issued an apology indicating their intention was only "to experiment with innovative advertising without any intention to sell photos", as they promised to search for a more clear language in the terms of service.
The suspicons among consumer advocates remain strong because Facebook acquired Instagram for $715 million in early 2012. After all, Facebook has also been critisized in the past for changing settings to a point that users will not be sure of how to keep their information private. As expected, Facebook's official announcement regarding the lawsuit against Instagram was "this complaint is without merit". Will Instagram learn from Facebook's experiences and refrain from bluring the lines between privacy settings and advertising? Let's see what will happen.
Happy New Year to all microbloggers!! The arrival of 2013 reveals a blogosphere that could be described as the global time square (or global public square).
In a recent report by Twitter, the number of Tweets posted on New Year's Eve worldwide were analyzed and the top five locations by city and time zone were the following:
Tokyo and Seoul (UTC +9):
33,388 Tweets/second
New York and Bogotá (UTC +5):
13,336 Tweets/second
Bangkok and Jakarta (UTC+7):
11,675 Tweets/second
London and Lisbon (UTC):
9,455 Tweets/second
Los Angeles and Vancouver (UTC+8):
7,137 Tweets/second
Total by the top five locations
74,991 Tweets/second
On New Year's Eve, the blogosphere has been dominated by Asia with Tokyo and Seoul having 2.5 times more Tweets than New York and Bogotá. In fact, if we combine Tokyo, Seoul, Bangkok and Jakarta, they represent 60.1% of all the Tweets per second posted by the top five locations. Already in July 2012 Semiocast, the Paris-based French research group, ranked Jakarta and Tokyo as the top two tweeting cities worldwide.
However, these figures do not even account for China's role in the blogosphere. Therefore, we must keep our eyes open for Sino Weibo (新浪微博), considered to be the Twitter of China with approximately 368 million users in mid 2012. Due to its popularity the company's name is often shortened for Weibo (微博), which means "microblog" in Chinese.
Weibo also established its own new record on New Year's Eve with 729,571 messages per minute, which represents an increase of 52% from the last record established in 2012 during the Chinese New Year. However, expectations are already high for Weibo to break the record again in February 2013, during the Chinese New Year. Perhaps, we may all be celebrating the "year of the snake" with a new Weibo record.
The Asian market dominates the blogosphere in terms of volume. Already the top two tweeting cities are in Asia. Furthermore, if we compare Twitter's record of 327,000 Tweets per minute, obtained on the day of President Obama's re-election, it is less than half of Weibo's record of 729,571 messages per minute. The potential for growth is more than just a punch line. The sky is the limit, or perhaps the space is the final frontier, as Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield tweeted to earth on New Year's Day from the International Space Station: "Happy 2013 from orbit! Let's use Twitter to communicate like never before, see the year and the world through each others' eyes".
As each industry becomes more competitive, even a small company with a local market share has to implement an effective online marketing strategy. Thus, any changes in conversion rate optimization even in small percentages may reveal a more important story: one of success or failure.
Every company within each industry sector has a different understanding of how to satisfy the demands of their online customers. Every marketing strategy aims for high conversion rates from each discipline: SEM, display advertising, SEO, affiliate marketing, etc. In terms of defining such a strategy, conversion optimization is perhaps one of the most overlooked disciplines. An example of a classic optimization process is the case of Steiff's onsite optimization.
In February 2011, explido's conversion team initiated the optimization of Steiff's online shop in order to increase the efficiency of its budget. After the expert analysis, two areas were identified as weak spots: the landing pages and the checkout process.
The landing pages were redesigned in order to guide the customers through the entire decision making process, which leads to a purchase. This change alone generated an increase in the conversion rate from 13.22 % to 39.89% simply by adding product sub categories to the landing pages. Next, the improvements to the checkout process generated an increase of 11.06% in sales, simply by implementing guest accounts.
By implementing these adaptions the Steiff teddy bear will be bought even more and fewer kids have to be afraid of the dark as you can see in Steiff's latest image movie.
The evolution from e-commerce into m-commerce or "mobile commerce" is only beginning. As technology continues to develop, this new shopping experience will completely revolutionize our life style.
The concept of e-commerce sitting down in front of a desktop computer "glued to a chair" is obsolete. The new concept is shopping for anything, anywhere, any time. The evolution into m-commerce integrates multiple channels of personalized information into one "omnichannel" shopping experience. In other words, a mobile user is not restricted by the mobile device, but instead the shopper is able to combine shopping at a retail store and at a virtual store, and at the same time integrate multiple channels of personalized information that include the following:
1) Social media enables users to create discussions and recommendations about products and services. However, the m-commerce platform allows users to shop at a retail store and at the same time access reviews about the product from other friends, be a part of the discussion and mark if you like the product. For example, there are several retailers like C&A which are beginning to display the Facebook like sign next to each product.
Check out C&A's Social Media idea how to integrate Facebook.
2) Customized Apps for each retail store
Some retail chains are already developing mobile apps to enhance the shopping experience at the store by providing a variety of services such as a virtual product catalog, special sales, a floor plan to find the location of each item in a large store, personalized information from the user shopping habits, and in some cases integrating augmented reality into the app. For example, we can find an IKEA app that shows a floor plan of each store, and even integrates augmented reality to compare products and to follow instructions on how to assemble each item.
This customizes IKEA shopping app helps you finding the right furnitures.
In the clothing industry companies have already developed virtual fitting rooms that could be used from a desktop or mobile application or from a virtual mirror at a retail store. These virtual mirrors allow shoppers to try on clothes, save a photo of the person wearing the clothes and share it with friends through social media or email.
Cisco technologies shows us how the future of shopping could be.
3) Consumer / specialized shopping Apps (Affiliate Marketing)
There are already many companies integrating all the elements of affiliate marketing into mobile apps for smart phones. By using a mobile device shoppers can walk into a store, select an item and compare prices, find other locations nearby, get discounts and collect rewards points. In other words, all the elements of affiliate programs and local shopping information coming together into one useful app such as Shopkick, Clickthrough or Milo.
Have a look at how it can work with the partnership of shopkick and Visa.
How much increase would there be in the use of mobile applications and smart devices?
According to data published by Flurry Analytics, a company that tracks over 90% of all mobile devices running on iOS and Android, on December 25th 2012 there were more mobile devices activated than previously recorded. There was an increase of +332% in activation of mobile devices from 6.8 million on December 25th, 2011 to 17.4 million on December 25th, 2012.
In the third quarter of 2012, the number of smartphones in use worldwide already surpassed the 1 billion mark, representing only 1 out of every 7 people in the world. In simple terms, it took 16 years for the industry to reach one billion smartphones users worldwide. However it is estimated that it will only take a couple of years and by 2015, there will be two billion smart phone users worldwide. This accelerated growth does not even include other mobile devices like tablets.

In todays gospel, Jesus is speaking not only to his disciples but also to the Jews, probably meaning both sincere listeners and people who could not accept his teaching. People who accept Jesus are constantly strengthened by their awareness of him with us not only in the Eucharist, as presented in the gospel today, but also in his abiding presence in the depths of our hearts.

Multi Vitamin Fluoride Drops
Generic Name: vitamin a, vitamin c, vitamin d, vitamin e, vitamin b1, vitamin b2, vitamin b12, niacin, vitamin b6
Dosage Form: oral solution
Disclaimer: This drug has not been found by FDA to be safe and effective, and this labeling has not been approved by FDA. For further information about unapproved drugs, click here.
Multi-Vitamin Fluoride Drops
Multi Vitamin Fluoride Drops Description
See INDICATIONS AND USAGE section for use by children 6 months to 6 years of age.
This product does not contain the essential vitamin folic acid.
Active ingredient for caries prophylaxis: Fluoride as sodium fluoride. Does not contain folic acid.
Other ingredients: Caramel color, cherry flavor, oil of orange, ferrous sulfate, glycerin, methylparaben, polysorbate 80, purified water, sodium benzoate and sodium hydroxide.
Multi Vitamin Fluoride Drops - Clinical Pharmacology
It is well established that fluoridation of water supply (1 ppm fluoride) during the period of tooth development leads to a significant decrease in the incidence of dental caries.
Hydroxyapatite is the principal crystal for all calcified tissue in the human body. The fluoride ion reacts with the hydroxyapatite in the tooth as it is formed to produce the more caries-resistant crystal, fluorapatite.
The reaction may be expressed by the equation:1
Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 + 2F- Ca10(PO4)6F2 + 2OH-
(Hydroxyapatite) (Fluorapatite)
Three stages of fluoride deposition in tooth enamel can be distinguished:
1. Small amounts (reflecting the low levels of fluoride in tissue fluids) are incorporated into the enamel crystals while they are being formed.
2. After enamel has been laid down, fluoride deposition continues in the surface enamel. Diffusion of fluoride from the surface inward is apparently restricted.
3. After eruption, the surface enamel acquires fluoride from water, food, supplementary fluoride and smaller amounts from saliva.
Indications and Usage for Multi Vitamin Fluoride Drops
Supplementation of the diet with vitamins A, C and D.
Multi-Vitamin with Fluoride 0.5mg Drops also provide fluoride for caries prophylaxis.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children up to age 16, in areas where drinking water contains less than optimal levels of fluoride, receive daily fluoride supplementation.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommend that infants and young children 6 months to 3 years of age, in areas where drinking water contains less than 0.3 ppm of fluoride, and children 3-6 years of age, in areas where the drinking water contains 0.3 through 0.6 ppm of fluoride, receive 0.25 mg of supplemental fluoride daily which is provided in a dose of .50 mL of Multi-Vitamin with Fluoride 0.5 mg Drops. (seeDOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
Multi-Vitamin with Fluoride 0.5mg Drops supply significant amounts of vitamins A, C and D to supplement the diet, and to help assure that nutritional deficiencies of these vitamins will not develop. Thus, in a single easy-to-use preparation, children obtain essential vitamins and fluoride.
As in the case of all medications, keep out of reach of children.
The suggested dose should not be exceeded since dental fluorosis may result from continued ingestion of large amounts of fluoride.
When prescribing vitamin fluoride products:
1. Determine the fluoride content of the drinking water.
2. Make sure the child is not receiving significant amounts of fluoride from other medications and swallowed toothpaste.
3. Periodically check to make sure that the child does not develop significant dental fluorosis.
Multi-Vitamin with Fluoride 0.5 mg Drops should be dispensed in the original plastic container, since contact with glass leads to instability and precipitation. (The amount of sodium fluoride in the 50 mL size is well below the maximum to be dispensed at one time according to recommendations of the American Dental Association.)
Important Considerations When Using Dosage Schedule:
- If fluoride level is unknown, drinking water should be tested for fluoride content before supplements are prescribed. For testing of fluoride content, contact the local or state health department.
- All sources of fluoride should be evaluated with a thorough fluoride history.
- Patient exposure to multiple water sources can make proper prescribing complex.
- Ingestion of higher than recommended levels of fluoride by children has been associated with an increase in mild dental fluorosis in developing, unerupted teeth.
- Fluoride supplements require long-term compliance on a daily basis.
Adverse Reactions
Allergic rash and other idiosyncrasies have been rarely reported.
Multi Vitamin Fluoride Drops Dosage and Administration
See following chart. May be dropped directly into mouth with dropper; or mixed with cereal, fruit juice or other food.
How is Multi Vitamin Fluoride Drops Supplied
Multi-Vitamin with Fluoride 0.5 mg Drops is available in 50 mL bottles with accompanying calibrated dropper.
Storage and Handling
Store at controlled room temperature, 15º-25ºC (59º-77ºF). Excursions permitted. After opening, store away from direct light. Close tightly after each use. Occasional deepening of color has no significant effect on vitamin potency.

24.12.05 - By Jeff Bastasini: With Nicolay Valuevs recent disputed majority decision win over John Ruiz, it has seemingly catapulted this once unknown Russian fighter from near obscurity to being one of the most talked about fighters in the heavyweight division, perhaps mostly thanks to the Circus side show aspect of his huge 7 ft, 320 pound frame, that dwarfs his opponents. Now, according to Don King, he wants Valuev to fight his next bout in the United States. So far, no one has been named as a possible opponent, but fighters, such as Andrew Golota, and Evander Holyfield, have been circulating in the rumor mill.
However, for me, Im seriously hoping that King doesnt decide on taking the soft route for Valuev, as the public, no matter how gullible theyve been in the past, wont likely show much interest in a fight that could turn out to be an ugly one-sided mismatch.
So, out of all the possible heavyweight opponents that Valuev could be potentially matched with, theres only one, in my opinion, that will bring the kind of excitement that the boxing public would be interested in seeing and thats a fight against the knockout artist Wladimir Klitschko.
For one, the sight of both of these huge guys in the ring, would be like watching two giants go at in some kind of monster movie. Wladimir, who at 66, would make this a record for having the two largest fighters in the ring at the same time. More than that, though, it would likely be exciting from start to finish, as Wladimir would be throwing his right hand bombs, while Valuev would be pushed into a slugging match, much like he was against Clifford Etienne when he came out firing missiles at Valuevs chin. That fight turned out to be one of Valuevs most exciting, as he knocked Etienne around the ring like a rag doll. From what I saw of the fight, it showed how dangerous Valuev can be when hes pushed hard by a fighter that is trying to take his head off, as Etienne clearly was on that night. By nature, Valuev is a nice guy, but when he's riled, as he was on that bout, he apparently has a mean streak, as he angrily took Etienne apart.
Wladimirs coming off of a tough brawl with the slugger Samuel Peter on September 24, 2005, that saw Wladimir being knocked down on three separate occasions, and ready to go in the 10th round, before rallying in rounds 11 & 12, and hurting Peter badly with a powerful left hook, which had Samuel almost out on feet.
Of all the heavyweight title holders out there, it seems somewhat odd that Wladimir isnt one of them, based on comparative talent. Just from a boxing stand point, if you were to measure Wladimirs boxing talent and athleticism against the other heavyweight title holders, no one would come close to Wladimir in overall talent, other than perhaps James Toney. However, even with all his vast boxing ability and knowledge, Wladimir is a shaky fighter when pressed hard by an opponent, showing visible signs that hes never been taught how to relax when under heavy fire. To be sure, some of that may be due to his training methods that he previously used, which consisted of very few rounds of hard sparring; However, the other part of the problem, I think, is due to his soft diet of 2nd & 3rd tiered fighters that Wladimir built up a large part of his record on.
On Wladimirs way up in the heavyweight division, he really didnt fight too many tough or skilled fighters that could really press or worry him, and when he finally fought a heavyweight that could punch, in Ross Purity, he seemingly fell apart and was stopped in the 11th round, losing by TKO. In that fight, and in his losing effort against Lamon Brewster, Wladimir seemed to have almost had a nervous breakdown, when after he had unloaded his entire offensive arsenal of punches, Brewster and Purrity kept coming, looking for more. However, Wladimir seemed to have no plan B, nor any idea of what to do when facing someone that will not just quit or be knocked out easily, like his other soft opponents, who for the most part, didnt belong in the same ring as Wladimir. However, in 2004, Wladimir began training with Emanuel Steward, who has since been teaching him some of the basic ring fundamentals that he was previously lacking, such as learning how to pace himself and relax when pressed. Moreover, hes got Wladimir moving around in the ring more while fighting, something that he did a lot earlier in his career, before turning into a muscle bound plodder. Against Samuel Peter, Wladimir looked like an imitation Muhammed Ali, as he moved around the ring, circling Peter for the full 12 rounds.
Previous to his bout with Ruiz, Valuev (43-0, 31 KOs) was already popular with the German public, who quickly adopted the Russian fighter after he signed with a German-based promotional company. To be honest, its difficult to gauge how good Valuev really is based on his last two fights against Larry Donald and John Ruiz, considering that neither fighter really pressed him very hard. Both fighters tried hard, yet due to their size limitations, they didnt appear to press Valuev hard enough to really test him, perhaps fearing that they might catch something if they stayed inside his power range for any length of time. Valuev, although slow and ponderous, has respectable power, that loads up on, much in the same way that George Foreman used to, late in his career. It may seem like hes not punching hard, but due to his monstrous size, when he connects, he has 320 pounds of weight to put behind the punch. For those who doubt his power, take a look at Ruizs face following their heavyweight match, and that will give you an idea of what Valuev can do if he hits you enough.
Now, how would a fight between Wladimir Klitschko and Nicolay Valuev go? I see the fight starting off slowly, with Wladimir landing jabs on the outside, circling the larger man, and using his left hand as a range finder. When Valuev throws his slow jab, I see Wladimir neutralizing it by coming over the top with a right to the head, which will snap Valuevs head back. The big question mark, I think, is whether or not Wladimir has the stamina to keep firing punches for a full 12 rounds. For the most part, Valuev has shown to have an excellent chin, and can take heavyweight shots without budging. However, he has never been in with a fighter that punches as hard or as fast as Wladimir, so it remains to be seen whether he can stand up to the heavy fire power that would be dished out. At the same time, Valuev, wont just stand in front of Wladimir and make it easy for him. I see him slowly walking Wladimir down and applying steady pressure, while trying to get in close to land one of his big , yet powerful, uppercuts to Wladimirs soft chin.
Prediction: Valuev by 8th round TKO

Take A Look At Shadows of the Damned Concept ArtBy Ishaan . April 17, 2011 . 3:27pm
Demons have markets in Shadows of the Damned.
Demons have markets in Shadows of the Damned.
Since its a Grasshopper Manufacture title game done in the style of grindhouse cinema, Shadows of the Damned was destined to be a "M" rated game from the day Suda51 started planning it. What points struck a cord with the ESRB?
Way before all of the cock jokes, Shadows of the Damned threw Garcia right into combat. The level opened in an area enveloped by darkness. Monsters lunged towards Garcia, but under the cover of darkness these undead creatures were invulnerable.
A new trailer of Goichi Suda and Shinji Mikami's upcoming demon-shooter.
EA and Grasshopper confirmed the game's release date at a press conference a little while ago.
In case you haven't been following Shadows of the Damned, the Electronic Arts published Grasshopper Manufacture title, this is demon hunter Garcia Hotspur.
Check out concept art and screenshots from Shadows of the Damned.
Debut trailer inside. "MY WRATH IS YOUR HELL!"

Nopigia is a small beach resort, just outside the city of Chania, to the far west of the Greek island of Crete. Travellers looking to enjoy their holidays in Nopigia will discover that there is a select choice of self catering accommodation available for rental within the resort. If they are prepared to travel the 20 minutes or so further along the coast to Chania, however, they will find a greater choice of rental accommodation available, to include apartments and townhouses. Those with a more generous budget may wish to stay in one of the many fabulous hillside villas with private pools.
Travellers looking to spend their holidays in Nopigia will find that the resort is especially ideal for those looking to enjoy a relaxing get-away-from-it-all beach holiday. It is not as developed as neighbouring resorts within this region of Crete, although there is still a variety of watersports available on the resort's beautiful beach, such as water skiing, scuba diving and pedalo hire. There are also a selection of tavernas and tapas bars for tourists looking to enjoy a snack and a glass of wine or two whilst soaking up the warm Greek sun.
Most visitors enjoying their holidays in Nopigia will sooner or later be looking to spend some time in the nearby ancient city of Chania. Here they will find a wealth of architecturally interesting buildings and structures within its popular Old Town, which is often considered to be one of the best preserved and most beautiful in Crete. The remains of the old Venetian walls are still evident and are a popular draw for those visitors with historical interests. In complete contrast, the city also boasts an exciting nightlife, focussed around the old harbour area. Chania offers some great shopping, for those visitors spending their holidays in Nopigia who are looking to undertake some serious retail therapy.
Visitors looking to spend their holidays in Nopigia will discover that the resort, much like Crete as a whole, enjoys a warm Mediterranean climate. Summers are warm and dry, with temperatures regularly reaching the early 30s degrees Celsius. Winters tend to be cooler and wetter, with temperatures varying between 10 and 18 degrees Celsius. Nopigia experiences an average annual rainfall of around 12 inches.
Travellers looking to enjoy their holidays in Nopigia will first fly to Chania International Airport (CHQ). There are a number of airlines operating regular and affordable flights to Chania Airport, including Easyjet and Thomson Airways. These flights depart from a number of regional UK airports, including London Gatwick (LGW), Manchester (MAN) and East Midlands (EMA).

States with the slowest recoveries
While much of the focus has been on unemployment, jobs are not the only factor determining how states have fared since the recession.
Articles like this one are ignorant. Essentially, our economy is compromised by a giant bubble of baby boomers heading into retirement, unwilling to give up 20th Century prosperity, even if it destroys the nation. Retirees are invested in everything and don't realize that doing so actually suppresses the rest or the potential renter, leaser or client. we have about 5 more years of this, then it gets critical. There is plenty of talk about Obama's spending but the $16 Trillion owed went into the markets and out to the seniors. Collectively, they are rent-controlling the economy into a full-blown Depression. If you spent a better part of your working years making wages, what skill set constitutes your investment mogul and entrepreneur delusions now?
No state recovers until it throws Wal-Mart out and directs all available monies to revitalize Main Street and not Wall Street. Recover requires indigenous production that can be exported. If we are importing and sustaining administrative offices only, we are dying. Destroy the paper pusher, make new businesses. One terminates to recover the bottom line, the other hires to raise up the bottom line. Which are you invested in, senior?
I keep hearing of a recovery, but I'm not seeing it. I think part of the data is skewed because they base it on how many people are collecting unemployment benefits but many, like myself, have been unemployed so long we've exhausted our benefits and now get nothing. How could they be counting me?
I notice that Michigan or Ohio didn't make your list, even though both States still have more people unemployed than even live in North Dakota! You also report South Dakota as having a very low unemployment rate, which obviously does not include the many unemployed Crow and Sioux natives living on reservations within the State either.
Also, that reported unemployment rate for 2007 seems very low considering that all of the major cities of the southern Great Lakes region had unemployment rates in the double-digits by then too. My guess is that if the GW Bush administration was willing to neglect to mention that $2 trillion that they stole from Social Security, that also caused them to egregiously under-report the Federal budget deficit that entire time, that grossly under-reporting the actual unemployment rate (or the actual inflation rate too) would have not been outside the realm of logical possibility either!

LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) - Billions of dollars are being cut from the Federal Food Assistance program, also knows as "food stamps."
Michigan alone will see more than $100 million in cuts.
The cuts will impact families, but it does depend on the size of the family.
Some people will see a $11 dollar loss, while families will be cut even more per month.
A family of there will see $29 dollars less per month, or about a dime per meal.

I'm hoping that Haste will become useful for Arms soo, such as significantly reducing the cast time of Slam. As it stand now we're getting a lot of unneeded Haste from gear. I'd like to see some log parses with these changes and I hope that Arma narrows the gap with Fury for PVE damage. Arms is a much more fun playstyle for many of us, and it would be nice to have Arms stay a very viable raiid sppec as Blizzard has stated in the past.
Few months ago at the end of the expansion there was post by Ghostcrawler who acnowledged that arms warrior damage has been mishandled by Blizzard in WotLK PVE and it needs a boost.
And what do we have now:
Arms is at the bottom of every list, more nerfs are layd on us with every "patch" thanks to the PVP caster-QQ, melee is already hardest to utilize in Cata instances and arms warriors getting spots is nonexistant.
Why does the classic fantasy RPG damage dealing class even exists in Warcraft anymore ?

kala, that is bordering on whining, because fury is still at least usable.
However, I'll give you a pass, because your QQ is backed up by the data - arms warriors just aren't doing enough damage, and have not for a very long time. It would be nice if blizz could get them somewhere in the neighborhood of arms at least.

Do you have any pics of the previous LED setup?
Just curious how visibility is an issue with the others.
my opinion: the inherent differences in the Twin Vs Multi-Inline engine's power. The way the power is delivered, or put down to the ground is better for offroad/dualsporting.

Hmmm, interesting. I'll have to look around, b/c the NA availability issue you mention hasn't seemed to have sparked any questions here in SE Texas. (hub of the universe :p )

I agree wholeheartedly when speaking of "chopping" bikes and such (maybe more of a british marque problem), but referring to bits added/removed?
Define "stock" on an airhead...
