What Scams Should You Watch For When Hiring an SEO Firm?
Finding and hiring a great SEO provider is tough. Some businesses can never find one, and worse, other businesses fall for dirty scams that cheat them out of thousands and thousands of dollars. That's why you should watch out for the following scams when hiring an SEO firm.
Our experiences with SEO companies has not been so great. Actually, we've never worked with an SEO firm that impressed us with measurable results and a reliable work ethic. As a result, we have enough experience to know what to look for in an SEO company that only offers ineffective services that are only designed to eat up as much of your money as possible.
Search Engine Journal has a great piece on SEO scams. We summarize SEJ's list below, and we follow up the list with a few scams that we've seen ourselves.
+ Don't fall for "free" services. There is no such thing as a free SEO service that also works. It's possible that the company selling you "free" services is stealing your data, your customers' identities, or learning your trade secrets. In the best case scenario, a free SEO service is just a way for the company to get its foot in your door to sell you more expensive services.
+ Watch out for first-page guarantees. Any company that guarantees first-page rankings is (pardon my French) full of shit. Don't get me wrong. Getting on the first page is certainly possible, but nobody has the power or skill to achieve first-page rankings so consistently that they can actually guarantee it. Real marketers never make guarantees except to guarantee to do their absolute best.
+ Beware meaningless services attached to big numbers, such as "submitting your site to hundreds or thousands of search engines". The truth is that there are only a handful of relevant search engines, and it's not hard to "submit" your site to these search engines. Anyone with a minimal level of skill and knowledge can do it.
+ Don't believe anyone that says they have connections at Google. I've heard this line from every SEO company that we've talked to. It's most likely a lie, and even if it's true, NDA agreements and fat paychecks prevent Google employees from giving out insider knowledge or favors.
+ Beware anyone that assumes they know Google's Search algorithm. No one knows Google's algorithm very well, not even former employees or even current employees. Google Search is developed and maintained by several sets of teams that specialize in smaller aspects of the engine. There probably is someone in the world that manages these teams and has better insight into the algorithm, but I'm sure that guy is paid far too well to risk getting caught handing over secrets to an SEO company.
+ No one has a secret formula for successful SEO. The information that you need to be a great SEO marketer is freely available to anyone that wants it. Even so, SEO is hard work and requires a lot of daily research. Any company that claims to have a secret formula is playing you for a fool. In SEO, the only secret is that there is no secret. Most successful marketers know what it takes to rank well. The problem is most people don't want to do the hard work that gets them there.
SEJ's list is great, but it feels somewhat incomplete. Here's a few scams some companies have tried to sell us before.
+ Never (ever) buy backlinks or use a backlink farm. Google killed this strategy a long time ago, and any website that creates unnatural backlinks in mass is only going to encourage Google to drop the hammer of penalty & pain.
+ Avoid companies that don't have experienced and well-trained copywriters on staff. SEO firms that outsource copywriters often outsource really, really bad writers that only write English as a second language. That's because they don't have a writer on staff, so there isn't anyone that recognize great copy. Google is getting much better at recognizing well written (user-friendly) content, and if it finds that you are creating a great user experience for your site visitors, your site should rank better over time. However, bad copywriters may actually hurt your rank.
+ Avoid companies that create tons of low-quality content to help your site rank better. Why? See the above details on bad copywriting. Basically, you don't want to associate your site with low-quality content.

#MarketingMonday - Google's 10-Day Panda Update is Here
Google's search-algorithm updates sometimes occur too fast, causing some sites' search ranks to undergo drastic changes, but Google's latest Panda update is occurring over ten days. More importantly, the rollout has already started! Are you ready?
Google's new 10-day Panda update started last week, and it continues throughout this week. Like all of Google's search-algorithm updates, it's hard to know exactly what's changed, but SEO experts around the Web are already commenting on their experiences with the updates.
Search Engine Journal's Adam Morgan witnesses the following effects.
1. Impressions have risen, but click-through rates (from SERPs) have remained steady.
2. Rankings for informational sites, such as Wikipedia, have been hit hard.
3. Sites with high authority will rank better in SERPs.
4. Sites using Google+, such as authorship markup and Google +1 sharing buttons, are seeing some nice effects.
Remember that Panda's ultimate mission is to…
So you're best chance of surviving any Panda update is to use white hat SEO techniques and to follow Google's best practices guidelines. Seriously, quit that black hat stuff!
It may be a few more days before your site feels the full impact of the new update, but have you noticed any major changes in your search rankings yet?
#MarketingMonday - Purposely Misspelling Your Brand Name in Ads Can Be a Smart Marketing Strategy
Sometimes, the best marketing strategies take advantage of the most unlikely tools, glitches or places. For example, Lego famously leverages construction sites to send an inspiring and unforgettable message. In the same spirit, Snickers took over one of Google Search's most beloved features - spell check.
Snickers and Google partnered up for the snack brand's latest marketing campaign, and if you've seen some of the more recent Snickers TV ads, such as the one with Joe Pesci at a party, you may already know the slogan, "you're not you when you're hungry." Taking that same concept and plastering it all over Google Search, Snickers bought ads for about 25,000 misspelled search terms.
When you search for these commonly misspelled terms, such as "snikkers candy", you'll notice an ad or two at the top of your search results. The ad varies depending on your specific situation, but our test pulled up an ad for the brand's YouTube channel and also product ads to buy the candy at online stores. Some users are directed to a page dedicated to the campaign.
More importantly, it doesn't matter if you click on the ads themselves. If you know the slogan from the TV commercials, you should be amused by the same message after you misspell a word.
The tactic is brilliant SEO marketing. Most professionals and businesses tend to execute safe and easy SEO strategies, which is wise - don't get me wrong. But if you really want your brand to reach the top of the search lists, more often than not, you'll need to think way outside the box.

#MarketingMonday - How Refinery29 Launched a Multi-Million-Dollar E-Commerce Store Built Around Content Marketing
Content marketing is a powerful but often underestimated tool in the world of business, and despite being misunderstood, it is the vehicle that is turning average Joes from all walks of life into millionaires.
Justin Stefano and Phillippe von Borries are the owners and founders of Refinery29, a fashion content and e-commerce company out of New York. It's raking in multimillion-dollar sums every year, but it didn't start out that way. About eight years ago, the website could barely pay a $28,000 salary to each member of the founding duo, but thanks to a smart and evolved approach to content marketing, it pulled in $14.2 million dollars last year. Stefano and Borries expect that number to increase by another ten million for 2013, according to Business Insider.
Prior to launching Refinery29, both Stefano and Borries held down relatively cushy jobs in law and politics, but they quit their careers to launch the website in 2005. It started out as a somewhat traditional blog on fashion, music and design in New York City, but their dedication and taste finally paid off after three years. Riding on a $28k salary purely from ads, the blog took off around 2008 as smaller, niche brands found a growing and receptive audience at Refinery29.
Oddly enough, Stefano and Borries know nothing - and continue to know mostly nothing - about the fashion industry. But Refinery29 eventually became the place on the Web to talk about emerging fashions and up-and-coming brands. What they didn't realize at the time was that they were perfecting the practice of content marketing, which would set the stage for an e-commerce store that would launch Refinery29 to new heights.
The addition of an e-commerce component to Refinery29 enables the store to generate another $3-4 million per year, and it doesn't cost the duo much time or effort to get the store off the ground. After all the, Stefano and Borries don't even buy inventory. They just take a cut from the products sold by the smaller, niche brands that their audience loves to read about.
What Stefano and Borries did with Refinery29 is what content marketers all around the world aim to do everyday, but content marketing doesn't always produce such favorable results. Their success stems from a few basic principles:
+ They are genuinely passionate about their jobs (as owners of Refinery29) and the content they produce. People are attracted to passion, and passion makes it easier to work harder and more effectively.
+ They write for the reader, not for search engines. Writing for search engines can help you boost traffic in the short term, but writing for real readers produces passionate, dedicated fans that love to come back to the site on a regular basis.
+ Like in TV, high-quality (entertaining and/or useful) content comes first because that what attracts people. Without the content, there is no audience.
+ Many e-commerce stores underpay content marketers, copywriters and bloggers in the belief that their contribution is not as important as, let's say, a web developer. But to underpay your writers and bloggers is like ABC underpaying its sitcom-writing staff. The writers of a major sitcom at ABC are some of the highest-paid employees of the company. Think about that the next time you expect a minimum-wage employee to generate major traffic. Appreciate your content creators.
+ A content marketer should have (or at least strive to have) the same skills and professionalism as a staff writer for Time Magazine or Mashable.com.
+ Don't forget to broadcast a healthy sense of humor. The Web is full of humor and people that appreciate a good joke. This is a fact of modern Web culture, and if you're not in tune with modern Web culture, you won't succeed as a content marketer.

Social Media Has Taken Over SEO and Online Marketing: What You Need to Know
The old saying goes, "content is king." This is still true, but recent developments in search-engine algorithms have forced marketing professionals to rethink their SEO strategies. Older SEO techniques are just about useless and, in some cases, dangerous to a brand's reach, authority and reputation. Why is this happening? More importantly, what can you do to fix your SEO strategy?
For better or worse, social media has taken over online marketing and search-engine optimization (SEO). The direct force behind these changes appears to be the search industry, but the real driving force is the online marketing industry. That's because, in the past five to ten years, online marketers have learned to game search engines too well, so search companies were forced to rethink the way their search engines work in order to serve more relevant search results, not just the results of the companies with the most cash to spend.
How Did Social Media Take Over SEO?
The marketing industry's relentless gaming of the system actually caused a significant drop in search performance, which is really bad for the good ol' fashioned web surfer. And that's really bad for the search companies, which are arguably the heart and veins of the Web.
Marketers would game search engines by manipulating backlink counts. At the time, Google assumed that pages with the most backlinks are the most relevant and carry the most authority. For example, a New York Times article may be reposted, curated and outright copied thousands of times across the Web, which would create tons of backlinks to the original article. Google realized that such articles must be important because it is the target of so many links. But what happens if an online marketer pays a few teenagers to build some artificial backlinks to that article?
What if it's not a few links; what if it's a few thousand links? What if it's a few million links? In Google's eyes, the page must be important, but if its backlinks are not genuine, chances are it's not relevant to the end user. As a result, fake backlinks became a real problem, real fast.
Google had to diminish the SEO power of backlinking, but how would it measure authority without giving backlinks so much weight? Google learned that another signal of important content is social engagement, meaning the sharing, "liking", reposting, commenting, etc. of keywords, content, links and brands. This is why social media has taken over SEO.
How do you adjust your SEO strategy?
Now, how can your company take advantage of the new search algorithms? First, read Google's just-released-to-the-public Search Quality Ratings Guidelines, which the company hands out to evaluators that manually rate pages for search relevancy. You'll learn some critical stuff, but we've also made a quick and dirty best-practice list to help you get started fast. Check it out below:
+ Google and search engines prefer user friendliness over relentless keyword optimization. Over-optimization can actually hurt you, and hiding keywords with invisible text or coding tricks is a red flag to Google. It was a cheap trick that worked back in the day, but those days are over.
+ Set up sharing buttons on all your posts or product pages. If you run an e-commerce store, set up the sharing buttons on the product pages. You also need obvious links to your blog and other social-media accounts. A user shouldn't have to think twice after deciding to take a few seconds out of his day to visit your brand's social-media profiles.
+ Content is still king (you just have to make sure it's shared over social media). Before this year, you could submit your latest blog post to your SEO company, and suddenly you'd have hundreds or thousands of backlinks that push your post to the top of search-results lists. It's not so easy anymore. You need real fans, not dead social-media profiles, to share your content. Work on social-media recruitment, and stop relying on services that fill your social-media profiles with fake fans.
+ Use a tool or company to find poor quality backlinks, and remove them. If you paid for backlinks, chances are they are now hurting your search engine performance.
+ If you need real fans and followers, that also means you'll have to work on improving your content. Ugly, over-optimized content just don't cut it anymore. It must really appeal to your fan base. Otherwise, it's dead in the water. Amazing content is king.
+ Don't forget about your robot.txt file and other website optimization. This makes it easy for search engines to find relevant content on your website, and it also boosts load speed to prevent impatient users from leaving too quickly.
If you plan to integrate your business with OG, the best thing to do is to learn it, understand it and, if you decide it's worth your time and effort, plan it into a long-term strategy. This is exactly our strategy at AnyPromo.com.

Is Your Business Ready for Facebook's Open Graph Search?
Facebook is in the process of launching a new search engine called Open Graph, which will modify your search results from Facebook or Bing by considering your social-media activity and interests. You will, of course, need to update your website and marketing strategy to stay ahead in the SEO and SMM game.
As early as last year or further back, Google began considering your businesses's social-media engagement and popularity when measuring its authority for keywords to help it deliver relevant content to search users. Google has only increased the relevance of social media since then, and now, Facebook is in the process of launching the Open Graph protocol. If you want your business's web properties to pull search traffic from Facebook or Bing, you'll need to perform a few preparatory measures as Open Graph takes off.
+ First, make sure you and your business are on Facebook. This is important because it shows Open Graph that you're having conversations with your customer base, so it means your business is alive and relevant.
+ Post to your Facebook page on a regular basis - either weekly or daily. What's important is to engage your fans. It helps Open Graph define and identify your business and its keywords. Make sure you post any relevant content to your Facebook page, or Open Graph may not even know it exists. Furthermore, Facebook pages and posted content with the most "Likes", comments and shares have much more authority and search relevance.
+ Implement Facebook markup (meta tags), which help Open Graph identify critical snippets of identifying information about your website, business and social-media properties. Double check your Open Graph markup with the Facebook Debugger to make sure your markup is working correctly.
+ Add a "Like" button to your web pages, blog posts and any other content where it makes sense to have one. This helps Open Graph keep track of who "Likes" what, so it can modify search results according to social-media activity. Note: The old "Like" button is incompatible with this new version. If you installed the button before November 7th, 2012, it will not work with Open Graph.
For more information on optimizing your website for the Open Graph Protocol, check out Facebook's developer documentation and additional resources.

Guess what? Nanowrimo time. Once again, I don't want to decide what to write this year, so I ask the internet to pick for me. Twist this year is that I'm probably going to be writing two books and the second one is probably going to be Looking Glass related.1
Anyway, most of you know the drill already. Bunch of options, poll at the bottom. As usual, you can choose up to three options and all voting is closed on October 25th.
The Sword Prince
Prince Siegfried, after an unfortunate encounter with a basilisk, was cursed to be a sword at the bottom of a lake. When he is removed from the lake by his descendants, he becomes a boy again just in time for the throne to be attacked. He finds himself caught in the middle and his curse slowly taking hold once more.
Mirabella knows she is a princess. She knows because she doesn't want to be an innkeeper's daughter. When a group of people come through the inn looking for the real princess of a conquered kingdom, Mirabella sneaks out to join them on their quest to fulfill the prophesy to retake the kingdom. The journey isn't quite what she had hoped, full of danger and uncertainty, and she is not the only potential princess they've picked up in their travels.
Sky of Butterflies
Deciding to try their luck on their own, Mateo and Serafina venture out of their orphanage and into the wide world outside, only to be swept up in a revolution. The robots have caught their world up in a tyrannical rule while the rich remain safe behind gilded gates. The kids, however, soon learn that the resistance is not all that it seems to be… and neither are they.
Escaping Reality
When Helena was a child, she went missing for several years. When she came back, she had no recollection of what happened. Now in her twenties, she is getting the feeling she's being watched. She's starting to remember what happened back then and it's becoming clear that she has unfinished business that's coming back for her whether she likes it or not.2
City Without Heroes
In a world full of supervillains and superheroes, Indira's parents have decided to take jobs in the crimeless city of Whitten. She couldn't be happier about it. Super powers run in her family and Indira is psychic, though plays her powers down as much as possible to keep from being roped into becoming a hero herself. Her uncle distrust the place, but Indira quickly settles, not realizing the price that comes with keeping a city like Whitten free of both heroes and villains.

Pancreatic Cancer Health Center
Meaty Diet Linked to Pancreatic Cancer
April 20, 2005 (Anaheim, Calif.) -- New studies presented at a major cancer meeting reinforce the old adage that you are what you eat (and drink).
One study shows that green tea may stave off prostate cancer. Another study suggests that eating a lot of hot dogs, sausage, and other processed meats may raise the .
Loading up on red meat also seems to increase the chance of developing pancreatic cancer, one of the most deadly of tumors, says study researcher Ute Nothlings, DrPH, MSE.
"The findings suggest that eating less processed meat and less red meat might help prevent pancreatic cancer," she tells WebMD. Nothlings is a researcher at the Cancer Research Center at the University of Hawaii in Honolulu.
Red meat has also been
Diving Into the Meat of the Matter
For the study, the researchers examined the relationship between diet and pancreatic cancer among nearly 200,000 men and women.
When they first entered the study in the mid-1990s, all the participants filled out a detailed questionnaire that asked what foods they had eaten in the past year, how frequently they had eaten them, and how much they had eaten.
By an average of seven years later, 482 of the men and women had developed pancreatic cancer.
Those who ate more than 1.5 ounces of processed meat a day were about two-thirds more likely to have pancreatic cancer than those who tended to stay away from hot dogs and sausages.
People who ate more than 2 ounces of red meat or pork a day increased their risk by about 50%, Nothlings says. These findings held true after taking into account known risk factors, such as smoking and a family history of pancreatic cancer.
But it appeared that people can eat poultry, dairy products and eggs with impunity, at least where pancreatic cancer is concerned. The study showed no link between those foods and the cancer.
Although fish has been shown to be protective against many diseases, the researchers found no link to pancreatic cancer risk.
Meat Processing Methods May Be Culprit
Figuring that the high fat content in processed and red meat must be to blame, the researchers next looked at the relationship between fat intake and pancreatic cancer.
But heavy consumption of fats or saturated fats did not increase risk, Nothlings says.
The most likely culprit: the preparation method, she says. Other studies have suggested that chemical reactions that occur during processing and cooking meats can yield cancer-causing substances.
William Nelson, MD, PhD, professor of oncology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, agrees. "These findings are a nudge toward making a recommendation that fish and poultry, safely cooked by baking and steaming, may help prevent cancer," he tells WebMD. Nelson moderated a news conference at which the studies were discussed during the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research.

I live two lives…
In life number one I wish to be free.
I dream of waking up happy again. I hang out with friends, I meet new people, and I have dreams and goals.
I learn, I teach, I practice yoga, I travel, I laugh. I want to be loved. I want to have children. People are around me because they like me. I feel normal…
…and I feel guilty. I feel guilty for having these desires. I feel guilty for wanting my life to move forward, for even having a life to move forward with.
In life number two I battle.
I battle with dark clouds, arbitrary moments shrouded with grief, blurred by tears.
I go to sleep listening to a terrible tv show in the background, so my bed doesn't feel so empty. I wake up in tears.
In this life I am married, and my love is tangibly unrequited.
In these moments I am an island…steps away from drowning in sorrow.
People are around me because they support me, because they didn't know that they might encounter this, but they accept it.
In this life, I yell at my husband, I scream and stomp, and I ugly cry. In this life his clothes still hang in the closet, his car still in the garage. But no one is there to mow the lawn.
Please don't judge me…
People make it better, but also worse. Everyone thinks they know the magical amount of time that one must grieve, wear black, or cry. I know that I will never stop crying, I know that I will never stop grieving, but I also know I need to seek happiness, achieve my goals, and have a family. I place enough expectations on my own life, behaviours, and actions. It is not helpful for me to encounter yours.
All the time I think of Kelly. What would he really want? What would he really want me to do?

Patriots CB Alfonzo Dennard found guilty of assaulting police officer in Nebraska
|02.20.13 at 12:12 pm ET
The trial of Patriots cornerback Alfonzo Dennard ended Wednesday when the jury returned a verdict of guilty to a felony charge of assaulting a police officer and a misdemeanor for resisting arrest. He was found not guilty to a third charge, for misdemeanor assault. Dennard faces up to six years in jail and $11,000 in fines at his April 11 sentencing.
Dennard was accused of punching a man on a street outside a bar at closing time, and then punching a police officer who tried to arrest him. The incident happened in Lincoln, Neb., in April 2012, as Dennard was preparing for the NFL draft following his career at the University of Nebraska. The Patriots selected Dennard in the seventh round, and he went on to start seven games this past season, recording three interceptions.
Dennard claimed that he pushed the officer in self-defense, but two officers testified that he punched one of them in the jaw.

text: Many times throughout the day, I make an automatic comparison of my present situation to a desired future outcome. Perhaps at the start of my day I have not written a new blog post and I want to have written a post by the end of the day. This makes me aware of what I want to accomplish, keeps me striving toward goals, and helps me to know if I am progressing toward those goals or getting further away from them. This, in and of itself, does not seem like a negative exercise. However, the words that I choose to use have quite an impact on whether I feel encouraged about my goals for the day or weighed down by the lack of progress. Continue reading »

Happy 1st Birthday Annabelle!
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 11-17-2010 - 12:54pm
Here's hoping Annabelle and her mommy Kerry (alsatia23) have a great day today celebrating!
Here's their story:
Annabelle Joy was born Tuesday November 17th at 10:40am. She was 7 lbs
15 oz and 21.25" long. She has a head full of jet black hair just like
Lucas did. She's a super sweet and sleepy baby!
Her quick birth story: We went to bed about 9:30 on Monday night and I just didn't feel right. I felt a lot of pressure down there but wasn't having any contractions or signs. I started feeling like she was going to just come out at home and started panicking so we went to the hospital. I had already been 4cm and 80% effaced since my appointment the week before. When we got to the hospital I was 5cm and having contractions regularly, but I couldn't feel them. They admitted me and I got an epidural at 3:30am (I'm a wimp). I wasn't really progressing though, which was frustrating. With Lucas I went from 3-10cm in three hours, but I didn't get to 10cm until after 9am this time. They did give me pitocin at 5:30am and broke my water at 8:30am. Finally at 9:50am we started pushing and she came out at 10:40am. Still more pushing than I thought, but so much better than with Lucas (I pushed for almost four hours with him). Her birth was amazing, Ryan got to cut her cord and she was given right to me and it was the best thing ever. Then we got to keep her for 2.5 hours before she went to the nursery. It was everything I wanted because with Lucas I didn't really get to see him because he had swallowed meconium and they took him straight to the nursery.
Anyway, we are home and very happy. She is very sleepy so I am having a bit of trouble getting her awake to nurse, but we are giving it our all. Lucas is amazing with her, he kisses her and just loves on her. I can't believe how easy it has been to transition from one to two children, so much easier than transitioning from zero to one children.

National Endowment For The Arts Provides $80 Million To Discourage Talentless Hacks

"- Roxane Gay. Yes. Go read the rest, please. (via annfriedman)
I do believe the person responsible for The Onion tweet in question would have made that tasteless joke about any nine-year old actress. This tweet was ill advised and repulsive, not just because the actress was nine, or because MacFarlane had, earlier in the evening, made a joke about her being too old for George Clooney in sixteen years, but primarily because young black women, black girls, are regularly hypersexualized. There was this additional, fraught context that someone didn't take into consideration and probably couldn't take into consideration because they are oblivious. They are oblivious to the context because they've never been around people who are familiar with it, because they've never been held accountable.
People often fail to understand the importance of diversity. They assume it's all about quotas and political correction but it is about so much more. Diversity (and we're talking race, class, gender, sexuality, political affiliation, religion, all of it) is about putting multiple points of view into a conversation. It's about ensuring that no one is operating in the kind of cultural vacuum where they don't stop to consider context. It's why certain people and shows and publications keep running into the same brick wall of public outcry about diversity—because these people consistently demonstrate a callous and willful ignorance of context. They see these lines that shouldn't be crossed and cross them anyway because they are blissfully unencumbered by context.
I'm not outraged about this one tweet. I'm outraged about the cultural disease that spawned this tweet, the one where certain people are devalued and denigrated for sport and then told to laugh it off because hey, you know, it's humor."

La Posada Santa Fe
Santa Fe, New MexicoEnter your email address and zip code for pricing and availability
Why Stay At La Posada Santa Fe
This downtown Santa Fe resort marries its Victorian roots to the local art scene, with an in-house curator who provides tours of the on-site collection.
The Scoop
Located on six quiet acres just a few blocks from the Plaza, La Posada de Santa Fe Resort is a mix of styles, both old and new: the Victorian mansion (circa 1882) is now the Staab House bar; the 157 hotel rooms take inspiration from Pueblo architecture; the art collection focuses on contemporary Western artists. Many of the adobe-style rooms include kiva fireplaces and patios, with some have restored antique maple floors and mud walls. There are four restaurants on site, including the highly regarded Fuego; the spa has a eucalyptus steam room, a heated pool, and a rooftop terrace.
Insider Tips
The original owner, Julia Staab, is one of Santa Fe's most famous ghosts; she is said to frequent the lounge and room 100.
Catch the in-house art curator's informal talk every Friday around 4:30 p.m. She also leads guided tours on request.
Preferred Airport
Arrive at Santa Fe Municipal Airport (SAF) which is approximately 11 miles from the resort. Anticipate about 25 minutes of travel time. You may also elect to fly to Albuquerque International Airport (ABQ). Travel time is about 80 minutes.330 East Palace Avenue, Santa Fe, New Mexico, United States

Biscuit heresy?
- Monch Apr 16, 2011 11:15 AM
I have been working on my acumen for making baking powder biscuits and have found a recipe that works.
Today I got a bug to make a batch and decided to try a shortcut:
- Into the Cuisinart went the dry ingredients, for a pulse or two
- Then in went the frozen shortening (butter-flavored Crisco)
- Pulse a few times to get to "crumbly" consistency
While I had everything out, I decided to mix up a SECOND batch to the point I end, above. Threw all that into a zipbag and threw THAT into the freezer for future reference.
Will the freezing of my "homemade Bisquick" cause me any issues, up to and including, being drummed out of the Biscuit Maker's Guild? Same question for use of the food processor?
I took the FIRST batch to completion, with buttermilk, and the completed product is darn tasty.
I would think it should work just fine, though you may need to get the frozen stuff up to room temp before mixing the dough. If you want to make it even easier, use dried buttermilk in the mix and then all you'll have to do is add water!
Also, though you didn't ask -- try using butter! It's even yummier, IMHO.
re: MellieMag
My mother and grandmother never chilled a thing for biscuits OR pie dough!
re: MellieMag
MellieMag, I love the feel of the dough too. I have recently in life learned the importance of chilling the dough for 30 minutes. although I'd say it does have a good outcome doing that, I much prefer the feel of it before it seizes up even the least bit. maybe watching gramma with her soft yet strong hands. she had the talent to feel to see if it was ready for next step.
re: piccola
I have "hot hands" and eventually found that frozen shortening was a great offset to that.
I extended to this to this experiment.
I do go hands-on, of course, when kneading.
re: piccola
Gottcha. The dry mix is in the freezer for later this week.
I'm extrapolating my experience that the longer the fats remain solid, the better my results seem to be....
So...frozen dry mix with frozen bits of shortening "seem" to make sense.
It's "red beans and rice" night at our household, maybe some hot fresh biscuits would go well on the side.
I'll report out!
re: piccola
food processors are ah-mazing machines. many a pie dough or bread dough for that matter in this household has been processed. some times it's a time issue. I'm in a hurry or it just seems like the time spent to do it all by hand won't measure up to what I also have to do now.
My recipe for pie crust calls for combining flour, salt and shortening together (very coarse, uneven crumbs) and keeping the mixture well covered and in the refrigerator until ready to use... Measure two cups and add ice water and you can roll the crust out immediately, no waiting.
The crust is incredibly flaky, but when I first posted about this technique on another Web site, people pretty much mocked me and said it was ridiculous. Then about two years later, lo and behold, Alton Brown did the same thing on his show and people said he was brilliant...
My point is two fold... Be creative, it's not heresy. I admire you for trying something different. And, based on my pie crust experience, I think your biscuit idea may very well work as long as you don't overwork it.
Report back, please.
When I was growing up we always had a big tupperware container full of homemade bisquick -- recipes online abound; we used the one from More With Less -- and I can't imagine a problem with freezing it if you're using shortening.
I've done that for years, though I generally don't keep it in the freezer very long. It works very well and is a very useful technique if you're doing multiple batches of biscuit for a party. Don't bother bringing it to room temp -- just add your buttermilk, mix & roll out. Presto.
re: rjbh20
Result from frozen dry mix....delicious! No noticable difference in rise, crust, crumb....etc.
The noticable difference, of course, was in cleanup. Fewer utensils to wash.
Next experiment...a couple of batches of dry mix and NOT freezing.
From there, maybe butter-based dry mix, but that WOULD have to be fridged/frozen to keep the butter solid.
All in all, I'm perceiving that the flake of the biscuits is enhanced by the frozen shortening staying solid just THAT much longer, in the oven, than the room-temp shortening.
I may be imagining things, but the experiment is tasty!
re: Monch
Last post, lest I be accused of pandering to my own thread!
Tonight it was leftover ham on biscuits from a ROOM TEMPERATURE zippie full of mix. Only change was that I ran out of buttermilk and subbed in 1/3 of the wet for skim milk.
Again, good results.
I'm going to continue with the frozen shortening into the processor, so that it doesn't become a mess upon pulsing.
Even going to re-use the zippies from batch to batch....Uber-green, that's me!
re: suemac
in the Southeast you can buy Mary B's frozen biscuits -- same general idea -- premade, and individually frozen. And homannn, are they good.
(had the pleasure of sitting with the owners of the company one day on a plane -- I'd already discovered their product, so was happy to see that my money was going to a kind and decent family who make a great product.)
re: suemac
This, I will try!
Sounds like a superior tactic to saving leftovers over my "toss them in a zippie on the counter and hope they get eaten before they go over" philosophy!
re: suemac
I see this is an old post. Items on biscuits always get my attention. suemac do you bake them longer or higher temp when baking from frozen? Curious minds want to know. thanks.
re: ChefJune
I LOVE biscuits made with butter!!! The flavor is great.
re: dave_c
Hate to dredge my own post, again, but have an additional question.
Just took delivery of "Southern Biscuits". Can't wait to try the recipes, but am interested in the "Northern flour vs. Southern flour" issue.
I just drove back to Wisconsin, from Memphis. Did I miss my opportunity to "import" the "right" biscuit flour from Tennessee?
What is the word on this biscuit flour issue? While I know that there was a hue and cry about White Lily being sold to Smuckers, and losing the historical composition of their flour, is White Lily still the gold standard for biscuits?
re: rjbh20
So any old brand of cake, and A/P, mixed 50/50 for best results....check!
Many thanks,
re: rjbh20
my Georgia-born-and-bred best pal won't use anything BUT self-rising. I can't get it to work in my kitchen...but her biscuits are good.
re: sunshine842
"my Georgia-born-and-bred best pal won't use anything BUT self-rising." Here is an interesting fact: no matter what the brand of flour, they ALL use a lower-gluten wheat in their self-rising versions. This is why many Southern cookbooks will recommend self-rising for biscuits. White Lily SR was the gold standard, and for all I know might be despite Smucker's vandalism - even as ham-handed as I am, I could make perfectly light biscuits with that stuff. With just about anything else I'm better off not rolling and cutting, but simply patting into a long rectangle and slicing.
I am definitely going to try the pre-mix thing, though!
re: rjbh20
OK, so this was a fantastic suggestion.
Took me awhile to find "cake flour" at my local grocery...it was in a box by Pillsbury. Bought two two-pound boxes and mixed with four pounds of AP flour.
Made biscuits with the same recipe/technique I've been using.
My best biscuits to date! Only thing even slightly different is that the dough was a bit wetter than usual and I left them in a LITTLE longer than normal.
Light, fluffy/flakey...great bottom crusts and some little crunchy peaks on the top.
Turned them into ham/cheese biscuit sandwiches, after trying them with butter only.
Many thanks for the suggestion!
re: dave_c
Again, pandering to my own thread, and apologies for that.
Finally have ordered, and received, White Lily self rising and the results are superior. Since I'm now down to a quick three ingredients, I don't see the need for the pre-making and freezing of the dry ingredients.
I regret that its been almost ten months wasted, for lack of the White Lily.
Now, what to do with eight pounds of 50/50 cake to AP?
I made it my mission to make a good fluffy southern biscuit. Tried EVERYTHING. This is my best result. Forget plain flour. Go with good self-rising flour (White Lily or Southern Biscuit). Start with a well heated oven @ 450.
2 cups flour
1/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup whole buttermilk
Blend shortening in flour with pastry blender
Add buttermilk and stir just to blend
Place dough on lightly floured surface (using PLAIN flour)
Knead dough while folding three times
Cut biscuits about 1 inch thick
Put close together on baking pan
Bake until lightly brown on top
Brush with melted butter
re: poovey
That looks about perfect to me.
not sure this pertains-but-while watching a tv show when they made their 'famous' biscuits they said their secret was to freeze the butter and when frozen grate it into the flour and mix fast so it stayed frozen going into the oven.
I've been working on a Southern dinner party, introducing a gang of our Los Angeles friends of various ethnicities to down-home cookin', so I hauled out all my Southern cookbooks, plain and fancy. Well, here's a menu cookbook by Lee Bailey, a well-known proponent of the more elegant kind of traditional Southern stuff, and two of the biscuit recipes call for chilled butter or shortening, start out in a processor, and stay there through the ball-of-dough stage! So Monch's (now year-old) suggestion isn't really heretical - Lee Bailey is not exactly a food radical. Anyway, I am going to use my elderly Cuisinart for both biscuits and pie crust for this dinner.
Something I'm wondering about is using clarified butter, just to raise the fat content relative to the other components. I may try that, too. Boy, this is just like me: I'm having a dinner for ten, so LET'S EXPERIMENT! Oddly, it's always worked, sometimes better than others …
re: Will Owen
Yeah, Will...I have embarrassed myself continuing to breathe life into this zombie.
One of my "I wish" statements, on my profile, has always been "make a better biscuit"...so I've been pretty rabid about this. Apologies.
Now my "I wish" is down to "better pie crust".....
re: Monch
At less than a year old, it has hardly achieved zombie status; it's not even sick, much less dead! A REAL zombie - and there are plenty lurching around here - is a thread someone started ten or eleven years ago that's been zapped back to life five or six times, just because someone looked it up specifically or by key-word. What is truly embarrassing is to catch one of those, add a nice little essay to it, and then later find that you entered almost exactly the same opinion or anecdote back in 2007. I've got about six of those on my record …

HackDay Foundation
The HackDay Foundation, is a non-profit organization focused on organizing a series of International hackathons to promote startup development in select cities around the globe.
The first HackDay was organized in Miami, FL on November 2011, where 40 participants competed and created 10 exciting projects. The second HackDay took place in Buenos Aires on May 12-13, 2012, inside the offices of MercadoLibre, where 40 hackers produced 17 really cool projects over a 24 hour period.
The next HackDay will take place again in Miami and it will substantially raise the bar from anything we have done before, and as a matter of fact, from any hackathon ever done anywhere else. First of all, the Grand Prize will be a two part prize, for a total cash prize pf $50k, which will be provided by our platinum sponsors, The Knight Foundation and Tres Mares Group. This will make HackDay Miami essentially the x-prize of hackathons. Secondly, the winner will be able to participate in the HackDay Acceleration Program, which will dramatically increase their chances of making the dream of launching a startup a reality.
At the AVCC conference (avcc.fiu.edu) the week following the hackathon, a select group of top tier judges will select the HackDay winner from the five finalists of the hackathon, who will receive the $30,000 grand prize. The criteria will be simple - which project has the best potential to become a successful technology startup. Additionally, if the winning team commits to working on the project full-time for the next 90 days and participate in the HackDay Accelaration Program, they will receive an additional $20,000 cash prize, free co-working space at LAB Miami and priceless mentorship from some of the world's top technology entrepreneurs.
The primary goal behind the HackDay prize is that the winning team gets enough cash to dedicate itself to the project for the next 3 months and really attempt to turn the "hack" into a startup. For this purpose, we created the "HackDay Acceleration Program", where the winners will have the opportunity to work directly with our HackMasters, who will support them with strategic, technological and business advise to ensure they succeed in launching the startup.
HackDays are meant to be a celebration of the digital culture, and serve as an engine for startup creation within the local technology community.

What is the HackDay Foundation?
The HackDay Foundation, is a non-profit organization focused on organizing a series of International hackathons to promote startup development in select cities around the globe.
What differentiates HackDay from other hackathons?
- Focuses of markets with less developed technology ecosystems
- Not centered around one platform, sponsoring provider or service vertical
- Encourages local and global companies to come together and physically represent their APIs at the event
- Higher scores are awarded to "hacks" with local impact
- Global network of HackMasters that act as mentors to winners
What is the hackathon?
A hackathon, a hacker neologism, is an event when programmers meet to do collaborative computer programming. Although "hack" is in the root of hackathon, hackathons have nothing to do with malicious "hacking" done by crackers, rather the spirit of a hackthon is to collaboratively build programs and applications.
Hackathons are typically between several days and a week in length. A hackathon refers not simply to one time hacks, but to a specific time when many people come together to hack on what they want to, how they want to - with little to no restrictions on direction or goal of the programming.

Enjoy Free Entry on President's Day Weekend
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
The snow-clad Tetons create a winter wonderland of beauty & inspiration for visitors.
photo: Grand Teton National Park
Date: February 7, 2014
President's Day weekend means free entry to Grand Teton National Park. Entrance fees will be waived from Saturday, February 15 through Monday, February 17 at more than 400 units across the National Park System. This will also be a perfect weekend to experience and enjoy the winter wonderland of northwestern Wyoming and snap photos of the snow-clad Teton Range, especially with the predicted storm cycle that is forecasted to bring significant new snow through Tuesday, February 11. Entry fees for a private, non-commercial vehicle to Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks normally costs $25 for seven days.
Weekend visitors to Grand Teton can take pleasure in winter activities from auto-touring, wildlife viewing and scenic photography to cross-country skiing, skate skiing and snowshoeing across the snow-covered landscape. A popular winter trail—that spans 15 miles of the unplowed Teton Park Road from Taggart Lake parking area to Signal Mountain Lodge—is open, and machine groomed at least once a week, generally on Saturday mornings.
In addition to skiing, photography and wildlife watching, ranger-led snowshoe hikes take place each Tuesday, Friday and Saturday day at 1:30 p.m. from the Taggart Lake parking area. The two-hour guided walks offer an opportunity to learn about snow science and winter ecology. Previous experience is not necessary, and snowshoes are available for a rental fee of $5 for adults and $2 for children, 8 years or older. Reservations are required and can be made at 307.739.3399.
For complete information about winter activities in Grand Teton National Park or the John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway, go to http://www.nps.gov/grte/parknews/upload/Winter_Guide_14.pdf. Visitors can obtain winter season information about Grand Teton and the JDR Parkway in the following ways: The park's website at www.nps.gov/grte; the Jackson Hole and Greater Yellowstone Visitor Center on North Cache Street in Jackson; and an information line at 307.739.3399, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday - Saturday.
In addition to waiving entrance fees during this upcoming holiday, Grand Teton will also offer free admission on five other days throughout 2014. The fee-free dates for the calendar year include:

There is also high parent involvement which also brings us all together in our Community! My children love going to school and learning as it is a very positive caring environment for our children! Thank You Rancho Rosal For Doing A Great Job!! Sincerely, Happy Mom & Dad!!
My son's teacher was outstanding! She found a way to bond with him and make him want to do his best in her class. I wish I could be as enthusiastic about other factors at the school, but I cannot. : (
My 2kids recently transferred here from OC. We are very pleased with this school- lots of involved parents and caring teachers. Plenty of extracurricular activities/after school programs to expand my kids' learning. Great neigbhorhood schoo!!
I went here a few years ago. They have great oppurtunities to expand the children's learning. The school is kept pretty clean, and their Junior Optimists Club was fun. Great school.
My 2 daughters go this school and both are very happy.
It is great neighborhood school. Most people walk to school so you get to know everyone.
Great Teachers! Great Principal! Great Facility!
I have two children, grade 3rd and Kindergarden, attending Rancho Rosal. The project-based curriculum helps to build critical thinkers whil making learning fun! We love the teachers and staff. The active PTA has contributed money toward a PE and music teacher; field trips; teachers' supplies and more. It's not just a school, its a community.
My daughter is in first grade at Rancho Rosal. I am very pleased with every aspect of this school so far. The principal is very accepting of new ideas. The teachers with whom we have experience have been great. The PTA is strong. When the music program was cut due to lack of funds, the PTA facilitated the raising of over $20,000 to reinstate it. I am looking foreward to my other little girl starting Kindergarten there next year.
My son just finished 2end grade. We loved his teacher and classroom. He learned so much with hands on science projects and making power point presentations. The parent involvement was great, and the Principal is very active with the students, I saw every day getting to know the students and parents. He did have a few problems with bullies though.
KinderGarden was Great. Teaches were very skilled. My child is confortably reading 3-4 lettered words and sentences. Also does additions and subtractions. I am very satisfied with the school.

Halstead NewsFull news listings
Our School
What can Halstead Preparatory School offer your daughter?
"The school meets its aims very successfully, providing a comfortable and homely environment where pupils are well known, treated as individuals and gain the confidence to thrive and fulfill their potential. The contribution of teaching is excellent. At all levels the quality of teaching makes a significant contribution to the pupils' attainment and progress". Independent Schools Inspectorate' January 2014
We believe passionately in the ethos of single sex education for girls. Girls and boys develop at different rates, so at Halstead we can direct our teaching strategies to suit your daughter, ensuring she makes the best possible progress. We are aware too that little girls are very keen to please and like to conform; we ensure they learn that it is acceptable to be wrong, to question and to challenge. Thus we lay the foundations for the life skills girls will need in the future.
We aim to give the girls a rounded education: solid academic foundation, a love of music, sport, art, dance, drama, and proficiency with technology, good life skills and much more. And the positive feedback we receive from senior schools about how 'well rounded' Halstead girls implies we succeed in our aims.
A 'preparatory school' prepares girls for senior school. We get to know all our pupils extremely well and, when the time arrives, will advise you on the best choice of school for your daughter. We have an outstanding record of getting our pupils into their first choice of senior school and, as our Honours Board attests, many of our pupils gain scholarships.
More than anything we want girls to leave Halstead at age eleven with a sound academic base, good self-esteem and the confidence to undertake and achieve anything they wish, having thoroughly enjoyed their time with us.

Evidence for the Presence of Histamine Uptake into the Synaptosomes of Rat BrainSakurai E. · Sakurai E. · Oreland L. · Nishiyama S. · Kato M. · Watanabe T. · Yanai K.
aDepartment of Pharmacology, Tohoku University School of Medicine, Sendai, bDepartment of Pharmaceutics, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Aomori University, Aomori, Japan; and cDepartment of Medical Pharmacology, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden
Histamine has many physiological roles in the brain and periphery. Neuronal histamine is metabolized almost exclusively by histamine N-methyltransferase. Although several neurotransmitter systems such as dopamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine have their specific reuptake system in their neurons and glial cells, a specific histamine reuptake system into the corresponding nerve terminals or glial cells has not yet been clearly elucidated. We characterized the uptake of histamine into the P2 fractions of rat brain homogenized in 0.32 mol/l sucrose using in vitro uptake techniques. [3H]histamine uptake increased with the increment of added protein amount and elapsed time. [3H]histamine uptake was also temperature-dependent. The uptake of [3H]histamine into the P2 fractions occurs by two saturable processes, a high-affinity and a low-affinity, characterized by Km values of 0.16 and 1.2 µmol/l, respectively. Na+, Cl– and HCO3– ions were essential for the uptake of histamine in P2 fractions. [3H]histamine uptake was inhibited in the presence of several tricyclic antidepressants. In accordance with this, the endogenous release of histamine from brain slices evoked by 100 mmol/l K+ was augmented in the presence of 20 µmol/l imipramine. These results further support the existence of a specific histamine uptake system in the brain, although the precise molecular entities have not been identified until now.
