I've got a Zenoah G-26 in a H-9 Taylorcraft with an Evolution 16x6 prop. It's a very nice combo

Counting the cranks is a good way to avoid spilling too much. Let's say that on an empty tank it takes 100 cranks. Then you know that when you hit 95 or so, you'll want to slow down. You could stop...
Very simple
Sounds like you're making it too complicated. Why not just use one of these?
The problem I see is: Can you fit two servos, side-by-side, in that small area between the elevators?
That's a good solution too
I would trim off some of the forward edge of the canopy. That will allow it to sit lower
I'd have a heart attack lifting it into the car!
Well, let's see...
I said, "keep on track".
You didn't.
That's not censorship, that is me moderating the thread (as in: doing what I am supposed to do).
I don't tell people to...

Ok guys, let's not go off track, shall we?
I flew the Stinger II for this review:
It's a real honey!
Ditto on both of those
Gimme a break! I was in the Navy AND the Air Force, and we're way too smart to do the fighting ourselves.
Send the Marines!
Yea, if the servo binds and isn't allowed to rotate it's full 180, it will burn out
I do like Dick said, but after one tank (providing the engine is running well) I just start flying it - leave it rich for the first three or four flights, then you should be good to go.
What plane Gene?
You can get away with a lot when you're flying a kite :D
For those who complained about my removing the pics, I'm sorry, just do a google search if you need to see blood.
For those of you who thanked me for removing them, you're welcome - That's why...
I like the look of the canopy moved back, but I've compared some pics side-by-side and I think I still like the original better - Although I did notice that depending on the color scheme, the moved...

E&A buys RPG Australia's wind tower fabrication business, will supply towers made in Whyalla to SA's largest wind farm Snowtown II
- From: The Advertiser
- November 22, 2012
SA-BASED industrial assets owner E&A has bought the wind tower fabrication business of collapsed entity RPG Australia and won its first contract on the state's second-largest wind farm project.
E&A subsidiary E&A Contractors is now working with Snowtown II wind farm developer Siemens to ensure that at least 20 of the wind towers for the 90-tower project will be fabricated in Whyalla.
RPG Australia Pty Ltd, which went into administration last month, was contracted to supply 50 towers to Siemens.
E&A secured the key personnel and assets used by RPG in the manufacture of wind towers and will incorporate both the personnel and assets into its existing fabrication and manufacturing business at Whyalla.
Project owner TrustPower awarded Siemens the contract to engineer, procure, construct and maintain in August this year.
Snowtown II is expected to be capable of generating 270 megawatts of renewable energy and powering about 180,000 SA homes when it is operational by end 2014.
E&A Contractors has been assisted in developing its relationship with Siemens by both the Federal and State Governments.
It has also applied for funding support from the Upper Spencer Gulf Enterprise Zone Development Fund.
E&A executive chairman Stephen Young said the company was pleased to be developing the capacity to manufacture and fabricate wind towers locally.
"Our dialogue with Siemens is progressing positively, and we are looking forward to expanding our business in Whyalla with the aim to supplying towers to the Snowtown II wind farm and to retain a strong wind tower business in South Australia."
Investors responded enthusiastically to the announcement with shares up 8 per cent in noon trading to 34.5c.

We have an internal website, served from behind HTTPS with client certificates.
Website users are non-technical persons, working remotely. They use Windows (XP, Vista, 7) and OS X (10.5, 10.6, 10.7). They use a variety of browsers, but we can limit the range to modern Chrome, FireFox and Safari (on OS X).
The problem is that it is a huge pain to set up access for a new user or replace a certificate. Since the users are working remotely, they have to install their SSL certificates themselves — with all the usual consequences. Diagnosing and fixing the issues that arise from that can take days.
I'm looking for a good troubleshooting guide for our sysadmin (the questions to ask users, the tools to gather diagnostics etc.) and maybe some advice on how to improve the whole workflow.

Hi, very nice plugin, but it completely breaks previous_post_link & next_post_link navigation when it is activated and post are re-ordered... there is some hack? or I miss something?
Hi, very nice plugin, but it completely breaks previous_post_link & next_post_link navigation when it is activated and post are re-ordered... there is some hack? or I miss something?
This should work.
Also which is the exact mean of 'completely breaks', do you receive an error?
No i've got no errors. When plugin is active i cannot detect (as i do when it's disabled) when i'm viewing first post (no prev link active) and when i'm viewing latest post (no next link active)... Links are always active... i think there is some collision with the get_adiacent_post value, have you got idea ?

<?php next_post_link('%link', 'Previous'); ?>
<?php if(!get_adjacent_post(false, '', false)) { echo 'Previous'; }

<?php previous_post_link('%link', 'Next'); ?>
<?php if(!get_adjacent_post(false, '', true)) { echo 'Next'; }
This definitely breaks the next and previous post link functions. Exclude Categories is no longer passed to the function with this plugin working.
How will you send the category exclusion to WordPress queries? Obliviously there is not a standard and if you use a custom plugin for that, of course it might not work if it does not use the proper method of a term exclusion.
The previous & next works, but it also depend on other plugins you use.
Me too: it's breaking my next prev link navigation. Same exact problem as davidinoo.
First post still gets both links, so you end up jumping back and forth between first and second post.
Thing is, I tested it with a clean twenty-ten theme, no other plugin installed..still breaks.
I am having the same problem where the next_post_link function is broken. It says "resolved" on this issue. I am curious what the solution is.
my previous / next link were also broken with this plugin. i installed Ambrosite Next/Previous Post Link Plus and it seems to work:

TV A Prediction
posted by March 31 at 10:48 AMon
For the record, I predict that if Sanjaya makes it through a couple more rounds of American Idol, he'll bow out of the competition, under pressure from the producers.
Why? Because while he's certainly a ratings draw, if he wins, it could potentially kill the show. If Howard Stern and others even manage to get him into the top 5 or so, people will go nuts fucking with the competition next season, and on and on. Once he starts sticking around while people with some degree of actual talent (it's all relative, of course) get booted, they'll push him out. At some point, his potential to fuck up their basic, zillion-dollar formula will outpace his ability to pull in big ratings right now. This things I believe.
And no, this topic doesn't deserve this much thought, but I've had this goddamned song stuck in my head for a week (thanks Adrian!) so something had to give.

Eleanora Fagan (April 7, 1915 – July 17, 1959), professionally known as Billie Holiday, was an American jazz musician and singer-songwriter with a career spanning nearly thirty years. Nicknamed "Lady Day" by her friend and music partner Les...ter Young, Holiday had a seminal influence on jazz music and pop singing. Her vocal style, strongly inspired by jazz instrumentalists, pioneered a new way of manipulating phrasing and tempo. Holiday was known for her vocal delivery and improvisation skills, which made up for her limited range and lack of formal music education. While there were other jazz singers with equal talent, Billie Holiday had a voice that captured the attention of her audience.
Connect any celebrity with Billie Holiday to see how closely they are linked... romantically!
I have always enjoyed her singing very much but what a tragic and hard life she had, very sad to read.
Beautiful Lady she will allways be. That had her own way of singing the blues.
love her music
you are beautiful stay alive and R.I.P

Newly released Clinton document describes Internet as right wing tool of conspiracy commerce
Posted By Giuseppe Macri On 6:01 PM 04/18/2014 In | No Comments
A previously unreleased White House document among the 7,500 published by the Clinton presidential library Friday warns that the burgeoning Internet of 1995 is being seized by the right wing and turned into a communication stream of conspiracy commerce.
The 1995 report, titled The Communication Stream of Conspiracy Commerce, describes the Internet as a new method of communication employed by the right wing and used to convey their fringe stories into legitimate subjects of coverage by the mainstream media.
Among those fringe stories were the now-infamous reports and lawsuits alleging extra-martial affairs with the president, including accusations from model and actress Gennifer Flowers, and murmurings about former Arkansas state employee Paula Jones, Mashable reports.
The White House counsels office and Democratic National Committee produced the report, which explains how Republican staffers surf the Internet, and describes it as one of the major and most dynamic modes of communication.
The Internet can link people, groups and organizations together instantly, the report reads. Moreover, it allows an extraordinary amount of unregulated data and information to be located in one area and available to all. The right wing has seized upon the internet as a means of communicating its ideas to people. Moreover, evidence exists that Republican staffers surf the internet, interacting with extremists in order to exchange ideas and information.
Cry havoc and let slip the tweets of war.
But...but...Al Gore created the internet.
They will REGULATE our data...?
In other words CENSORSHIP.
The first amendment swiftly follows the second.
First time I've ever heard Media Matters, ThinkProgress, Huffy Poast, MSDNC ad nauseam described as "right wing tools".
Among those fringe stories were the now-infamous reports and lawsuits alleging extra-martial affairs with the president, including accusations from model and actress Gennifer Flowers, and murmurings about former Arkansas state employee Paula Jones, Mashable reports.
ALL TURNED OUT TO BE TRUE!!!!! So much for fringe stories
unregulated data and information
That says it all. Back in 1995 they admitted they regulate information.
As for the right wing connecting groups to groups, I guess they hadn't considered that left wing groups might do the same. Such as The Huffington Post and Moveon.org to name a few.
I have always like conspiracy theories, they are so interesting but don't really believe most of them.
As far as the Clintons tho, I would believe about anything. I would not be surprised at all if both of them were guilty of murder. Actually multiple murders.
If only.
I was going to ask Vince Foster and the David Koresh folks what they think, but remembered they aren't here anymore.
I remember when this came out. IIRC wasn't it a Sid Vicious (Blumenthal) production?
Newly released Clinton document from 1995 describes Internet as right wing tool of conspiracy commerce
would have been a lot better.
Post of the day!
Yeah those flash mobs are all right wing extremist
According to Clinton, his presidence suffered its scandals because of a synergy between the Right and the mainstream press. The right fabricated stories of scandal, and the mainstream press dutifully passed them on. This explanation was first tried out on the public in 1994 when Clinton's political adviser, James Carville, described the occult process as a "Media Food Chain." By 1997 White House staffers had composed, presumably at taxpayers' expense, a 331-page report on the Food Chain.
Titled "Communication Stream of Conspiracy Commerce," it depicted the flow of these shocking fabrications, advancing from their point of origin on the Right and heading into the mainstream press. The Right's sources were identified: London's Sunday Telegraph, Richard Scaife's Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Times, and the American Spectator. In an early post-presidential interview Clinton explained to Newsweek magazine, "We live in an historical period when the fanaticism of America is on the right, and it has an apparatus to support it."
For all his public smiles Clinton is an angry man; and throughout his retirement he has frequently given vent to this anger, often at odd moments.

Won't THAT be fun...?!
"We are at war with East Asia. We have ALWAYS been at war with East Asia."
Sounds great, huh...?
Was that before or after Democratic Underground?
That wording sounds like it could have come directly from a Stasi report, where Commie apparatchiks and informants are explaining to their superiors how the enemy operates. Did the Commies directly train the Democrats, or do they all just naturally talk that way?
Is there any meaningful difference between the Communists of East Germany or the Soviet Union and the Democrat leadership? Not that I can tell...
the right had the lead in 1995 and they let themselves be overtaken by the loony left
I thought this was Free Republic?!!? Did clintoon just accuse me of joining du?!??
Paranoid kooks
I think they are looking at us. There's probably spy's all this place. So they own the mainstream media but they don't own conservative websites yet.

This will come as a big surprise to tens of thousands of dirty, small-minded petty tyrants writing comments from their parents' basement on DemocRat Underground.
In 1995 the internet was truly an alternate, uncontrolled media. It took almost 10 years to change that.
It's affect on the 2000 election was the straw that broke the camel's back.
unregulated data and information AKA free speech
Once Bill learned he could use the internet to meet women, he did a 180 on the issue.

Attention AT&T - Verizon customers Netflix users .
Wondering why all the problems with Netflix streaming?
Netflix users on Verizon and AT&T get raw deal, have little reason for hope
Customers are the victim of stalled negotiations between ISPs and Netflix.
by Jon Brodkin - Mar 29 2014, 7:00am CST
Faster than streaming on Verizon and AT&T.
"Why is Netflix so unreliable?" That's one of the most common questions asked by Internet users today.
But that question gets asked by customers of some Internet service providers (ISPs) a lot more than customers of others. Netflix's February rankings show that Google Fiber's average Netflix speed of 3.74Mbps was more than twice as high as Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon, which are the first, second, and fourth biggest broadband providers in the country. Cablevision, Cox, Suddenlink, and Charter beat the biggest ISPs in the national speed rankings too. RCN, a smaller carrier in the Northeast, last year outperformed all opponents in a speed test of just the Boston area.
Further Reading
Verizon CEO confident about getting payments from Netflix, too
CEO: Netflix/Comcast deal proves Internet market doesn't need much regulation.
The trend has been a downward one for months on Verizon, Comcast, and AT&T, yet only customers of Comcast have reason to hope it might improve. That's because Netflix reluctantly agreed to pay Comcast for a direct connection to its network. Already, Netflix streaming on Comcast improved slightly in February and should continue to get better as more traffic goes over the direct connection between Netflix and Comcast.
But what about Netflix customers stuck with Verizon or AT&T? There's nothing to do but wait.
For all its complaints about the country's lack of net neutrality rules, Netflix has shown that it's willing to pay what it calls ISP "tolls" to secure a better experience for users. But so far it's only struck a deal with Comcast, and that may be because Comcast wanted to avoid extra scrutiny as it tries to convince the US government that it should be able to purchase Time Warner Cable.
Wedbush Securities wrote that Netflix will have a harder time making deals with ISPs other than Comcast.

A very bad productDid not work on the delivery day itself. No support from V-Guard customer care. Never purchase this product or any of such V- Guard products. I think flip kart need to keep one more department to verify quality of products delivered.

Spike protection stabilizer is a must for LCD/LED TV'sI have been using mini crystal model stabilizer of V-Guard for my 26 inch LCD TV for the last year.Last week I bought a 40 inch LED TV.For that TV I bought another Vguard Crystal Stabilizer. You can buy Vguard products without any hesitation from Flipkart. One of the good place for online shopping.

Trusted name & brandMy previous V-guard stabiliser lasted its warranty of 7 years and then some! It finally died, after 11 years of uninterrupted service (was rigged to my HT system). So, I guess that there is some pedigree to the brand. I, therefore, replaced it with another V-guard...but notice that the build and warranty is a bit lighter this time; just hope it works as well as its predecessor....so far, so good!

Fast DeliveryOrdered V-Guard VG Crystal Voltage Stabilizer was ordered on a Friday (seller WSRetail) and it was delivered just in two days on Sunday !. Packaging was good. The product seems to be one year old. The date of manufacturing on the box was June 2015 (Now July 2016). However, stabilizer is working fine with no apparent problem so far. Long term reliability yet to be known.

Stretching the plantar fascia and calf muscles can increase flexibility and reduce heel pain. You can do this exercise several times each day and before and after activity.
- Stand on a step as shown above. Be sure to hold on to the banister.
- Slowly let your heels down over the edge of the step as you relax your calf muscles. You should feel a gentle stretch across the bottom of your foot and up the back of your leg to your knee.
- Hold the stretch about 15 to 30 seconds, then tighten your calf muscle a little to bring your heel back up to the level of the step.
Repeat 2 to 4 times.

'Munich' movie cover 'Munich' movie review: Steven Spielberg tackles political time-space continuum in wildly uneven but ultimately satisfying thriller Alternately intriguing and irritating, thought-provoking and banal, subtle and patronizing, the biggest surprise about Steven Spielberg's Munich is that it – however grudgingly – works. The film, which Spielberg himself has referred to as a "prayer for peace," follows five men contracted by the Israeli government to avenge the massacre of that country's athletes at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. Sizable chunks of this political thriller with a Message (capital "M") are simplistically written, clumsily acted, and handled with the director's notoriously heavy touch, but the old adage – blood begets blood – even if somewhat muddled, is too timely not to make an impact. Complex 'Munich' movie plot Based on George Jonas' 1984 book Vengeance: The True Story of an Israeli Counter-Terrorist Team, whose veracity has been questioned in some quarters, Munich begins as »

Facebook Went Down at the Worst Possible Time
A Friday morning in August.
It's the first Friday of August, a day that anyone unlucky enough to be in an office traditionally spends staring out the window and screwing around online, as opposed to doing work. It's a particularly bad time for Facebook — the preferred time-wasting device of desk-bound adults — to break, but that's exactly what happened late this morning.
For dozens of frustrating minutes, users attempting to log into the world's biggest social-media network were greeted not with their college roommates' thoughts on the situation in Gaza, but a message reading, "Sorry, something went wrong. We're working on getting this fixed as soon as we can." People did what they could to cope.
#NowFacebookDown quickly began trending on Twitter, which, it turns out, is a decent place to complain and make jokes about Facebook:
"Now that Facebook is down, how will we waste our time" says everyone ON TWITTER AT THIS VERY MOMENT!— Kyle Orland (@KyleOrl) August 1, 2014
ugh ANOTHER redesign, facebook? pic.twitter.com/2fAMKyq0WO— Adam Smith (@asmith83) August 1, 2014
Facebook announces new "Summer Fail Fridays" for month of August.— Michael Roston (@michaelroston) August 1, 2014
Facebook is down, so everyone just tweet whether you're engaged or not.— Kevin Roose (@kevinroose) August 1, 2014
Facebook is down. You can stop all the lying about your perfect life. Go. Live your actual life. You're free. Finally free.— pourmecoffee (@pourmecoffee) August 1, 2014
Why Facebook went down, and how it's never been more relevant— VICE (@Vice_Is_Hip) August 1, 2014
People registered their panic IRL, as well:
The site seems to be working now (though Facebook has yet to say explain what went wrong), so everyone can get on with their day of looking at other people's beach vacation photos.

She begins to get interested, and than hangs her head and walks away. MJ than goes to a photo shoot, waves goodbye to her cast as she goes into a coffee shop, and than attends a movie premier of the "Raving Madman". When she returns home the special of Spider-Man is still on, and she goes to sleep. Aunt May is reading the Daily Bugle, on the computer of the local library. She doesn't appreciate the way they have been slamming Spider-Man, and sends an email to the Daily Bugle canceling her subscription. She subscribes to the Brooklyn Banner, because they treat Spider-Man with respect. She than sends messages to the Letterman Show, the Tonight Show, Larry King, Dan Rather, and Oprah asking them to do a story about super heroes such as Spider-Man. Spider-Man saves a father, and a child from a burning building. While he swings past Times Square he sees Mary Jane, on the giant television he hangs his head, and heads home. He takes a shower, and goes to bed. A open magazine with Mary Jane's face on it lay on the counter so he puts his Spidey mask on it. We see MJ, Aunt May, and Peter sleeping.

DavDrive Lite
- March 6, 2016
( 280)
DavDrive Lite is a WebDAV server which allows the sharing of files between the mobile phone and a desktop PC via Wi-Fi.
More information about the setup:
Supported operating systems are Mac OS X, Ubuntu and Windows (third party client required).
More information about the setup:
Does a useful thing in conjunction with a suitable Windows client. Use this with Klink. You click the button & you can manage files from your laptop.
Fantastic app Very much to the point. Helpful for linux users. Just adding a dav server on the ip does the job
More 1GB - no copy.
Simple, perfect I had to use this webdav solution because I believe that installing a samba (I use linux) server or other on my android would require a rooted phone. This option was second best, nautilus recognizes my phone just as if it was another computer on my network. Also, browsing the settings is exactly what reflects the title the best : simple, perfect everything I needed and nothing more...
Empowering Inspired by this app and the recommended Bitkinex client I now fully understand what "client" means in this sentence. Which led to enlightenment on the word "Server." Which made me finally figure out what was going on with this whole "LAN" thing. I haven't been this interested in the nuts & bolts of computing since Windows 3.1. Stick out the setup if you're having trouble; I know that "Airdroid" app is easy but this one is rewarding.
What's New
- Range Header support (NetDrive on Windows now should work)
- Better large file support

In this article I explore research in urban science education inspired by the work of Kris Gutierrez in a paper based on her 2005 Scribner Award. It addresses key points in Gutierrez's work by exploring theoretical frameworks for research and approaches to teaching and research that expand the discourse on the agency of urban youth in corporate school settings. The work serves as an overview of under-discussed approaches and theoretical frameworks to consider in teaching and conducting research with marginalized urban youth in urban science classrooms.

Is anyone aware of way of binding actions to some key combination + mouse motion? Primary idea would be lets say if alt is pressed and mouse is moved - it would act like scroll wheel (sending scroll wheel clicks can be done easily if I could just run commands on alt + [mouse moves right] for example). So is there a way to do this? Not application specific and not window manager specific. Something like xbindkeys.
There might already be software for that specific purpose. Check out this article

Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Pfizer and China's Zhejiang Hisun Pharmaceutical have established a joint venture, Hisun-Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, to develop, manufacture, and commercialize off-patent drugs in China and global markets. The firms claim off-patent drugs, including branded generics, represent one of the fastest-growing pharmaceutical segments globally, and in particular in emerging markets. In China, for example, branded generics account for some 70% of the domestic pharma market.
Hisun-Pfizer will exploit Hisun's product portfolio, broad market outreach, and capabilities in the production and commercialization of branded generics, backed by Pfizer's expertise in R&D manufacturing, international market promotion, and global operations. Hisun says the venture paves the way for its transition from an API manufacturer to an established branded generics firm, and lays a foundation for Chinese pharmaceutical companies to expand into international markets.
"The joint venture demonstrates Pfizer's commitment to China's ongoing healthcare reforms and is an important milestone for Pfizer's efforts to broaden the reach of its world-class healthcare solutions in China," comments Xiaobing Wu, country manager of Pfizer China. "Providing high-quality, accessible, and affordable healthcare to people over a vast area and from broad socioeconomic levels has become a primary objective of Chinese healthcare reforms, which is aligned with Pfizer's mission to provide high-quality and affordable medicines to our patients."

I'm just curious if anyone can think of a practical way to limit the number of additional queries generated by functions like the_permalink().
It's interesting that you can pull 20 posts with 1 query, but you need 20 additional queries to pull the permalinks.
God help you if you use the_permalink() twice for each post.
I understand that caching the variable wouldn't be practical, but I wonder, is it a good idea to cache the permalink in the posts table? -- maybe there could be an option on the permalinks page to reset all the posts?
I'm just thinking out loud here - can anyone think of a better way?

Making small lifestyle changes could have a big impact on reducing stroke risk, according to a study.
Researchers assessed stroke risk using the American Heart Associations Lifes Simple 7 health factors: be active, control cholesterol, eat a healthy diet, manage blood pressure, maintain a healthy weight, control blood sugar and dont smoke.
"We used the assessment tool to look at stroke risk and found that small differences in health status were associated with large reductions in stroke risk," Mary Cushman, MD, MSc, the studys senior author and a professor of medicine at the University of Vermont in Burlington, said in a news release.
For the study, published June 6 on the website of the journal Stroke, researchers coded each of the LS7 components as poor (0 points), intermediate (1 point) or ideal (2 points). An overall LS7 score was categorized as inadequate (04), average (59) or optimum (1014) cardiovascular health.
The researchers found that every one-point increase toward a better score was associated with an 8% lower stroke risk. Compared to those with inadequate scores, people with optimum scores had a 48% lower stroke risk and those with average scores had a 27% lower risk.
While black participants had worse Lifes Simple 7 scores than whites, the association of the Lifes Simple 7 score with stroke risk was similar in black and white participants. "This highlights the critical importance of improving these health factors since blacks have nearly twice the stroke mortality rates as whites," Cushman said.
Cushman and colleagues reviewed information on 22,914 black and white Americans ages 45 and older participating in a nationwide population-based study called the Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke.
Researchers collected data in 2003-07 by telephone, self-administered questionnaires and at-home exams. Participants were followed for five years for stroke. Many participants were from the Southeast, where death rates from stroke are the highest.
During the study, 432 strokes occurred. All seven health factors in Lifes Simple 7 played an important role in predicting the risk for stroke, but having ideal blood pressure was the most important indicator of stroke risk, the researchers said. "Compared to those with poor blood pressure status, those who were ideal had a 60% lower risk of future stroke," Cushman said.
The researchers also found that those who did not smoke or quit smoking more than one year prior to the beginning of the study had a 40% lower stroke risk.

+Android Police gaming on the prime is awesome and so glad that PS3 controllers are supported also go into the settings and up the texture and all that jazz

I've been trying to unload my Prime, no one wants to buy it... I guess I need to pull it out of the box this evening and give this a try.
It's not the prime's fault, other than the horrible wifi performance... I have had an original gtab, an ipad, a touchpad and the prime and tablets just don't fit into my usage needs. I've tried to force them in but I always go back to my phone and my laptop. I have a 13" MBA and I'm really comfortable using just that and my Galaxy Nexus.
+Justin Fazekas ah ok - to be honest... As much as i hate to say this - and ipad may end up in my hands. I hate the functionality of things to be honest, but the app database is ridiculous. I'll never get an iphone, I had one before, but After seeing the apps for the ipad it makes it hard not to want one ... but i dont want to do it!
Justin Fazekas
If you know anyone in the market for a prime, hit me up. I have the keyboard dock to. It's in immaculate condition and I have the boxes and even the GPS dongle accessory from ASUS. I'm looking for $750 for everything.

I just completed moving another blog over to WP. This one was a little more difficult than the first as it is a skinned site. Other than some CSS tweaking to get it over, it went quite well. The design is not mine btw but it has Moxie by http://www.blogmoxie.com which was designed for me for MT. I'm going to try to put together a new skin myself when I get some time. God only knows what that will look like. I'm not that great on visual but I'm working on it. ;d
Now I need to get one of my favorite scripts working by ScriptyGoddess http://www.scriptygoddess.com. My show/hide comments is not playing nice. Went without a hitch on my other blog.. grrrr.
The other thing I can't figure out is what are the " ???? " in my About and my Favorites page at the top? I'm wondering is it because I used a stripped version of the index? I wanted to do that so I could have my Links on a separate page. I'm determined to find out the answer. Meanwhile, that is two blogs down. The other two I have are photoblogs which I may just leave where they are ... for now.
Every support question I had I found here through searching. So thank you all that responded to others as I successfully found my answers here and there.

Most Helpful
This is an excellent recipe. All the measurements are just perfect. Instead of chicken stock, I used a French onion broth.
okay so i was in a rush 2 cook my dad dinner...i had a bag of penne rigate and some mild beef links...i know it sounds crazy but i made this work and it was WOOOOW! i didnt have thyme but substituted with parsley, used canned milk and used only garlic pepper with a tiny pinch of kosher salt...the kicker was slicing the beef links i had into thin slices, seasoning them w/ garlic pepper and putting them in the oven at 300 for about 15 minutes. I added them to the recipe last and WHOA! we literally stuffed ourselves! Thanks for this very simple yet very tasty recipe!!! I will try it the original way next time!
Sounds great however it fails to note the cheese in the ingredients

Under the Cover of Antidumping: Does Administered Protection Facilitate Domestic Collusion?

Anecdotal evidence suggests that domestic firms can use the antidumping petition process to engage in collusion and increase domestic prices. In this paper, I test whether the antidumping petition process itself can help domestic firms raise prices. I propose a method to identify whether firms in the industry experience a structural break in the level of market power possessed by the firms at the time that they file their antidumping petition. I use this methodology to analyze the impact of antidumping petitions on competition levels in two industries. I find little evidence that either of these industries increased their market power following the filing of petitions for trade relief, nor even from the protection that resulted from these petitions. These findings suggest that the widespread belief that antidumping leads to more market power may not always hold.

So I was mighty proud to have worked out that if I increased the z-index of the header of a site I am building for a client, that I could get the logo to sit just a tiny bit over the menu. But now the menu doesn't work. I am assuming this is because the header is taking precedence over the menu. Am I right, and does anyone know of anyway around this?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Forum Moderators: Robert Charlton & aakk9999 & andy langton & goodroi
I don't think this is related to reciprocal linking. If it is overdone to the point that Google sees a big red flag some other penalty might click in but not this 950 thing.
Phase based seems a lot more likely. And there may be something about the words or phrases used in internal linking involved as well. Or that could just be a part of the phrase based thing.
[edited by: tedster at 9:15 pm (utc) on Feb. 27, 2008]
Of course not. There is nothing about what you describe concerning authors that would put you at any particular risk from the 950.
Sorry to dissapoint but themeing has nothing to do with it. I have dozens of sites with links from non themed pages with literally 100 of thousands of links. Only one site I have has the -30.
This matches with what I see looking at my competitors sites. At least themeing does not exist as it is supposed to in some posts here.
Miamacs has a very good list of factors, but he doesn't mention duping issues, and I'd have to throw that into the hopper.
To turn to some 950s I've been watching, and to use my own vocabulary about what I'm seeing (and forgive if some of this has been said before in different ways)....
I've been observing a bunch of 950s on a client site, and some have had what I consider dupe page issues. Some are direct dupe issues... and one is a top ranking page that is scraped to death in a very competitive area. It is ranking up at the top for its less competitive phrases, but for its most competitive phrase it's sitting in the 980s.
I could also call these dupe issues linking issues, because linking is inextricably related to which page is considered the dupe. For this highly scraped page, the most closely matching inbounds for its most competitive phrase simply aren't as strong as the links for the less specific terms. And for the most competitive phrases, the bar is higher.
What I think is interesting with regard to the scraping / duplication issue I feel I'm seeing on the client page is that if I search for dupes of long strings with &filter=0 appended, I sometimes won't find any... but if I search for strings of 4, 5, or 6 word exact matches, I'll find hundreds, on pages that have largely been scraped from mine. This is the way that scrapers are working now... they're breaking pages up into fragments... and it's likely that there's some collateral damage in Google's efforts to filter these out.
I'm also seeing that pages, which used to rank for searches including less heavily targeted synonyms, are now down in the 950s for these "peripheral" searches only. If I wanted to blame Google, I could say that Google is seeing these synonyms as excessive variation, and that my phrases aren't in the Google lexicon.
Playing devils advocate (with regard to my client pages), I could also say that the pages wouldn't read well without the synonyms... they would sound spammy. It may be that these synonyms and phrases indeed are in Google's lexicon, and that for spam evaluation purposes they are seen at a certain point to be equivalent.
If this latter is the case, then, by a new measure, the pages are simply over-optimized. There's too much optimized density ("density" referring not just to keywords, but to keywords and their synonyms).
I think I'm with Crush with regard to the theming. I don't think it's a factor, but that's just a superficial personal opinion at this point. Matt Cutts is currently ranking around #24 for [gadgets], and he's almost flaunting the idea of theming in demonstrating the variety of gadgets, etc, he can rank on. Not hugely competitive phrases, perhaps, but there's great variety.
(I think, btw, that Matt's site is very much an experimental and demo site, albeit he has a huge advantage of being a public figure, which makes his site atypical.)
As to why minus-950, I guess that beats throwing the pages out entirely. The sites I'm seeing here are in some way trusted in their niches, and it could be that Google knows that they're trying a work in progress. It's also clear that they're checking things over and over and over, cycling through the pages. Could be they're trying to be careful.
Any experiences about that? Should that help Google in "being carefull" since they get more data on different affected site types?
Or just a waste of time?
But in the other example... the .com, I can't explain it. Forget the thought that google can't associate auto and car as synonyms. Google finds those two words to be synonyms without any problem. I'm in the car insurance niche and my rankings have historically been nearly identical for the two terms regardless of which one I use on page or off. I just don't understand why one term is ok for that .com site, but the synonym is 950'd.
Tedster, I knew my post was likely a violation of the rules here, but if people would take the time to really investigate this example, I think we could learn a lot working from common fact. I appreciate you letting it pass this time.
What about the idea of sending a reinclusion request to Google, someone asked this before in this thread - yet unanswered?
Any experiences about that? Should that help Google in "being carefull" since they get more data on different affected site types?
Or just a waste of time?
If your site has been blacklisted/removed from the serps and you have cleaned it up, then it is certainly worth the effort.
As sites hit by the -950 penalty penalty are not blacklisted/removed from the serps but merel;y not showing for certain phrases there would be no point.
If this latter is the case, then, by a new measure, the pages are simply over-optimized. There's too much optimized density ("density" referring not just to keywords, but to keywords and their synonyms).
This is quite the opposite compared with the "themeing"-theory mentioned previously, which would push your site even further into over-optimization by adding more phrases to titles and content to match with your anchors.
So which way should I go now?
Or do I misunderstand things actually?
I don't think anyone's going to be able to say 100% what you need to do, the -950 phenomenon is still vaguely understood. But I doubt that adding more traditional optimization will bring success.
Forget the thought that google can't associate auto and car as synonyms.
This is an interesting situation. Going back to some earlier work with semantics, the tilde search definitely shows these two words have been associated for a long time in Google.
I think the fact that using one word trips the -950 and using the synonym doesn't points once more to a different kind of semantic work -- one that is not tapping into Google's earlier art. That is, the phrase based indexing patents [webmasterworld.com] do seem to be in play, IMO.
In opposition to ours this site consists mostly out of article snippets, forum snippets, affiliate cr@p and a HUGE boilerplate templates :\
page structure
boilerplate template 140 words
Amazon affiliate with amazon page content inclusion
boilerplate template 230 words
1/3 of a well known website duplicate
includes of his forum.
Left minimal menu and a dynamic menu to his forum.
I have a boilerplate template of 4 words (as per recent advice)
I don't get it... :\ Are that much duplicates back in fashion?
The minimal menu seems to be the most obvious thing. 4 items ..
[edited by: mattg3 at 2:14 pm (utc) on May 4, 2007]
But I doubt that adding more traditional optimization will bring success.
Me too. Thank you for your reply...
I decided in my case that I will keep on going with buisiness as usual, that means adding new pages and actualize the site like I always did but keeping my fingers off from any SEO activities for the moment, since things start slightly to get better since two days.
Looking at competitors I find those still ranking well who obviously didn't take the whole SEO-thing too serious, though they're optmized in some manner, but more, let's say "accidently", which is quite typical for my niche.
If this shouldn't bring my site back, I'll go over the whole thing to "deoptize it", in addition I'll go hunting some new quality IBLs and take care to avoid a too sudden growth of links. Making things look more "natural" to me seems to be likely the right way out of this mess.
Our site has been ranked number one in its two major keywords for the past 3 years. We rarely make changes or even check our rank, but when I checked yesterday I couldn't find either result. After reading about the 950 penalty, I looked through all of the results and our site was not found. I clicked on the "show omitted results" link and, boom, the result was back at number one. Our results didn't really drop in the rankings, they are just being weeded out by Google for some reason.
Can someone tell me if they think this is a "950" penalty or some other type of penalty so I can try to figure out some kind of response? Or at least direct me to a discussion where other people are facing this same problem?
Thanks in advance!
Has definite keyword loading in the KEYWORDS tag: 25
Description is a partial grab of one of his duplicate content things..
I have adsense
4 words boilerplate content
Keywords ONE :) what's in the title and what the article is about.
So should we now all reduce the menu to Google takes the mickey
Can you explain duplicate content?
It can be complex - check into the various threads in our Hot Topics [webmasterworld.com] area, which stays pinned to the top of the Google Search forum's index page.
Using another name for the war in all links and the title got the pages out of the 950 region but it no longer ranked well on the phrase people would use in searching for information about the war. I gradually added the original name back in the title and in one link. Now it ranks back in the top 10.
Here's what I think might have happened. Google had the first word of the war marked as a suspect phrase. (remember according to the phrase based patents the definition of a phrase includes single words) Eventually Google refined its filter to the point that the suspect word is acceptable if the word war comes after it.
I think that Google is still working on this kind of phrasing where adding one more word gives a completely different meaning unrelated to the spam phrase. This is probably why some pages have come back with no changes.
Meanwhile look at single words that could have a different meaning in spammy sites. That is what Google is targeting.
[edited by: annej at 4:01 pm (utc) on May 4, 2007]
I am looking for something like:
"Hit with the penalty, (did a,b,c, or did absolutely nothing), but saw the penalty automatically lifted in X amount of time."
I know it's not a cut and dry thing, I am just curious to know if anyone has been able to get out of it, was it automatic, and over what time period whether they did anything at all, or nothing at all.. thx!
So, today I go back to look into it a little more and... BOOM!.. It's now ranking in the top 100 for "auto loans". Now, I'm not saying top 100 is anything to be proud of (it's around result 90 give or take), but I think Tedster would agree that less than 14 hours ago... before a point was made of it on this thread... it was sitting in 950 land. Today it is back... and what is even more interesting for me is that the Cache date in Google is April 30th, which means that the improved rankings didn't come from a new cache or crawl of the page... but from something internal with google.
BTW, the Capitol One page is still 950'd.
Say you are searching for a new car. One thing you are going to want to do is see reviews from the premier consumer rating service, namely, Consumer Reports. In fact, as a .org and with tons of articles across the internet linking to them on this subject, you might expect some decent results.
So search for that "new car" and try to find the main page for the topic on this gold standard of authority on the subject... Hint: this thread is called "Google's 950 Penalty."
Now, what is also interesting is that the homepage for Consumer Reports ranks around result 125... but that page is about all kinds of topics not just cars. In the past Google would have been picking up the "new cars" page and it would have been top 10. Now, they shuffle the topic page to the end of results, and give you the homepage much lower.
So, maybe this is a good one for people to put their theories to test on. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Another thing.
Cross-reference with Yahoo for stolen content. Searches in Google may not reveal the extent of theft or it may only appear sporadically. This seems to relate to the in and out nature of the supplemental index and disappearing pages. When I first spotted this I said there was simply no way Google was penalizing for this but I filed a DMCA with Adsense anyway. Twelve hours after Google informed me they removed the stolen content my site was back. If PR of offender is greater than your site�s or the scrape is a couple of paragraphs or more beware. Be particularly aware of any heisted content appearing on article sites.
1. Should I just wait and see what happens now that I'm back?
2. For those that came back and then got bounced again, how long did the process take, e.g. days, weeks etc.?
3. One out of 2 on topic link partners I've had since 1998 also came back (albeit not as strong as me) after being in 950 with us. Other one is still in 950. Any ideas if this is a release from penalty or just a temporary reorder by G?
Any comments or advice would be really appreciated. Thanks!
Also, earlier there was no result in the first 100 results from their domain.. only the homepage at around result 125. Now one of their other pages is ranking in the first 100.
I'm going to watch this one because this would be two times that within hours of me posting a specific example of a 950 issue, that the page is no longer 950'd. I'm about ready to sneak my own page in here as an example that has been 950'd since December as that is starting to look like a good solution to the problem.
I'm going to watch both of my specific examples over the next hours and days if Tedster is kind enough to leave them up.
Sorry if that sounds like whining
I know exactly how this feels. If my site fails, this means almost no new contacts to customers - really not funny and it's starting to seriously threaten my income.
Concerning your questions, there are many points of view, mine is the following:
1. I would wait. Never change a running system. If you change things now, you'll never know what the reason for disappearing was.
2. My site is now on its third trip to 950-land (#1: 5 days, #2: two weeks, #3:for two weeks now, still away but between #30-#60 now) between the trips I regained all my former positions as if never anything happened (for about ten days the first time, for two weeks the second time).
3. No idea. Anything is possible.
If so... and since there is no new cache of the page in the interim which might impact results, I'm starting to wonder if the fact that probably a couple people performed the search, went to the 950'd result.. and clicked on it... and might have stayed awhile investigating... with their google toolbar on... that maybe this could be a reason for it suddenly breaking out of jail.
Only other explanation is that Google turned some knobs.
950s certainly could happen for different reasons, but theme is nothing to worry about since Google has virtually no conception of it. Like the above I've aged several years wishing and hoping Google would learn (or at least try to learn) something about theme and niche, and still there is almost no evidence they can see a theme/topic/niche.
Thanks much Pancho! This is the info I was looking for. Now at least if I get bounced again, I'll know its part of the 950 process. I think I'm just going to have to ride this out in lieu of making changes that may be completely wrong. Thanks again for the reply.
