" Well, no one deserves death before the old age. May be life time prison can be the best punishment for those fuckin doods."
"Their are certain crimes for which the only option is to enter the ultimate punishment of death...Unfortunately,this usually only includes murder,but their are many other crimes for which this ultimate punishment needs to be served...Like sexual crimes against children or for habitual offenders who refuse to change....Alot of people call me a hypocrite,being a carreer criminal myself...I have been to prison thirteen times,just in Illinois aloe....None of my crimes are violent or sexual,but i am no hypocrite...If i was given a choice the next time i face a judge in this state,even though my crimes are considered petty,I wish i could ask for the death penalty,specifically by electrocution....I am never going to change,and it is only a matter of time before one of my scams goes south and someone will probably end up dead at my hand....Why not end my destruction now and spare who might eventually become my victim....I have no intention on ever changing,i'm a criminal,and i always will be....I feel sorry for whoever gets in my way,like i said it's only a matter of time before i end up hurting or killing some innocent person who tried to fight back and not give me their money...This eventual senseless murder could be avoided if carrer criminals like me where put to death...We serve no purpose other than to lie,cheat,steal or whatever usually in the name of drugs like crack and heroin....This country needs to wake up and start executing people like me that are carrer criminals and refuse to change...Some people just dont deserve any more chances.... "
" really want to know the nature of the penalty, to see a real penalty and human behavior at the same time."
"Amazing film that has me questioning everything I've ever believed in capital punishment. Powerful drama unlike any film I've ever seen. Not for anyone who doesn't want to sit front and center at a man's execution. "
"I was apprehensive to "enter the death chamber" but like a curious little kid, I could not help myself. I've always been intrigued by the whole process of legally executing someone but I must admit I was afraid to see it for myself. Wow...what a unique film this is and what an amazing performance by William Neal Moore. Amazing movie! Unlike any movie I've ever seen before. I recommend that you watch this movie before you make up your mind one way or the other about the death penalty. The final 30 minutes of this movie had my heart pounding out of my chest. I'll never forget it. "
" OMG what a powerful film. Please let me know when it will hit theaters. Thank you! "
"The password to see the movie is provided once you submit your payment to watch the film. If anyone has any problem accessing the film please email firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks to everyone who has supported this fantastic film that will forever change the way people view the death penalty in America! "
" Amazing film! "
"I just watched the film and I can't speak...don't think I'll sleep tonight either. Never seen anything so powerful in my life. A friend of mine saw the film at a Los Angeles screening a while back and kept telling me I had to see it. I took me a while but I finally got the guts to watch the film with a few of my friends. I don't know what to say but POWERFUL. Great film and powerful statement about the death penalty and execution process in America. Everyone should see this film before they take a stand on this important issue. "
"Loved the movie. It's not what you expect and it has multiple story lines going on at the same time. Very interesting and entertaining. Powerful. "

It was a good Sept for Golf Channel , which scored its most-watched month ever with its Ryder Cup coverage. The net averaged 120k viewers during the month, up 58% YOY. CableFAX spoke with Golf Channel CEO Mike McCarly on programming, ratings, the merger with the NBC Sports Group and more. Since Golf Channel joined the NBC Sports Group, what are some of the beneficial results of the merger? Over the past 19 months, Golf Channel has built a ton of momentum. Currently, we are the fastest growing among all networks on television servicing more than 80mln HHs. This success can be attributed to a combination of factors including the added exposure via NBCUniversal assets but, most importantly, we have focused on high-quality programming and our loyal viewers are responding by tuning-in in record numbers. Have you tapped the NBC resources and if so in what ways? Absolutely. That's my background, so I knew how powerful a collaborative environment can be and since the first day of our new company we've tried to foster that culture. We quickly were able to co-brand all Golf Channel and NBC tournaments as one. We are building a seamless golf business with NBC, Golf Channel, GolfChannel.com, and both NBC and Golf Channel's mobile platforms. As Tiger Woods' celebrity status ebbs and wanes, does it impact your viewership? As an engine that helps fuel the game of golf, Golf Channel has to have a broader focus than any one player, tournament or tour. Tiger's participation continues to impact viewership, but over the past couple of years a roster of young talent is taking the game by storm. While having Tiger competing for a win will always help drive our numbers, one player's impact is less of a concern because there is a great depth of talent making names for themselves with golf's legions of passionate fans, who in turn are also becoming increasingly loyal Golf Channel viewers. What type of non-live event programming does best? For six years, Golf Channel has dedicated itself to not only producing high-quality live event and news coverage from around the globe, but we are making significant investments in new and original programming that taps into the passion of golf in a smart, authentic way. What do you think is the biggest misconception about golf? The easy answer is the misconception that golf only appeals to an elite audience. And while Golf Channel does have the most-affluent audience on television, the sport continues to grow with passionate fans from all walks of life. If you visit a golf course today, you will see a cross-section of society enjoying the sport. And as the roster of rising young stars continue to see success, you'll see younger and younger fans being drawn to the sport every day.

Governor Brown signs SB 172
On Wednesday, Oct. 7, Gov. Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 172 (Liu–D, La Cañada-Flintridge), which suspends passage of the California High School Exit Exam as a requirement for high school graduation through the 2017-18 school year. SB 172 exempts any student beginning with the 2003-04 school year from the CAHSEE graduation requirement, and provides that school districts shall issue a diploma to any student who has met all other state and local requirements for graduation from grade 12. The suspension of the requirement through 2018 provides the State Board of Education with the opportunity to re-evaluate whether a high school exit exam should remain a requirement for graduation moving forward, and if it does, what that test would look like. The current version of the CAHSEE had not been updated to align with the new state standards. SB 172 will take effect on Jan. 1, 2016. At that time, school districts and county offices of education should be prepared to issue diplomas to students from 2003-04 to 2015 who have met all other graduation requirements but have not passed the CAHSEE. A separate bill, SB 725 (Hancock–D, Oakland) was signed in August and specifically exempted the class of 2015 from the CAHSEE requirements. That legislation was prompted by the cancellation of the July offering of the test. Districts and county offices should already be issuing diplomas to students from the class of 2015. No offerings of the CAHSEE are scheduled for the 2015-16 school year or beyond, following the May decision by the State Board of Education not to renew the contract for administration of the test.

The marked fall in body temperature of premature infants immediately after birth and their notable tendency to be poikilothermic have led to the widespread practice of elevating and stabilizing the body temperatures of these infants by artificial regulation of ambient temperature and humidity. The selection of the ideal atmospheric conditions and of the most suitable body temperature has been made without knowledge of heat production by these infants during the critical first few days after birth. Most recommendations concerning the proper ambient temperature and humidity in the immediate postnatal period have rested on empirical grounds and on studies made on newborn animals and older premature infants, all of whom were presumed to be healthy.1-3 A good many premature infants suffer from

With greater numbers of primary knee replacements now performed in younger patients there is a demand for improved performance. Surface roughness of the femoral component has been proposed as a causative mechanism for premature prosthesis failure. Nineteen retrieved total knee replacements were analysed using a non-contacting profilometer to measure the femoral component surface roughness. The Hood technique was used to analyse the wear and surface damage of the matching ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) tibial components. All femoral components were shown to be up to 11× rougher after their time in vivo while 95 % showed a change in skewness, further indicating wear. This increase in roughness occurred relatively soon after implantation (within 1 year) and remained unchanged thereafter. Mostly, this roughness was more apparent on the lateral condyle than the medial. This increased femoral surface roughness likely led to damage of the UHMWPE tibial component and increased Hood scores.

St. Louis is an independent city in the U.S. state of Missouri.
The city contributed to the musical styles of blues, ragtime, and jazz. The St. Louis Cardinals, one of the most successful Major League Baseball teams, make their home at Busch Stadium. Other professional teams include the St. Louis Rams (football) and St. Louis Blues (hockey). A diversity of successful sports franchises has led to St. Louis being called "North America's Best Sports City." The city's many 19th-century breweries shaped beer in the United States, most notably Anheuser-Busch, Falstaff Brewing Corporation, and Lemp Brewery. The vestiges of French and Spanish colonization make St. Louis one of the largest centers of Roman Catholicism in the United States.

I've noticed that Peter Konz has slipped a bit in the mock drafts out there, while Tommy Streeter looks more like a late 2nd/early 3rd round guy now. I really like the idea of having Konz and Kilgore compete in camp, with Konz sliding over to C in 2013 or 2014. Also remember that we don't really have any depth at C if Snyder leaves.
30. Peter Konz, C/G, Wisconsin - RG is a current-year need - Konz can play guard well and is a polished center. So in 2012, we'll have a training camp battle at Right Guard between Konz and Kilgore. Either way, Konz will be the backup center and take over for Goodwin in 2013 or 2014 -- or sooner if Goodwin gets hurt. His athleticism makes him a great pass blocker and excels bump-blocking DTs and moving onto the LB. Great pickup at #30.
62. Tommy Streeter, WR, Miami - Randy Moss measurables (6-5 220, 4.4. speed) but incredibly raw. Probably won't play a whole lot as a rookie, but that's OK -- he'll learn a lot and be ready to go in 2013 after a year sitting behind Moss.
93. Robert Turbin, RB, Utah State - BPA Pick. Great value - we need a third back to split time with the others, esp. if Gore goes down. Also, Turbin is a good short yardage runner.
125. Jamell Fleming, CB, Oklahoma - Depth in the Secondary, somebody to develop in case Tarell Brown leaves in Free Agency after 2013.
157. Hebron Fangupo, DT/NT, BYU - Dude is a total badass that nobody has really noticed, for some reason. Will be a great guy to put in the rotation. Also, Soap and RJF are free agents after the 2012 season.
190. Trevor Guyton, DE, California - Nice 5-technique prospect
220. Greg McCoy, CB/KR, TCU - Another defensive back, with good return skills. We'll need a backup return man with Ginn probably leaving...Cox is dangerous but he could get in trouble again.

Oh, my God. Where will it end? Since Athena would have too many religious connotations for the new non-traditional school, shouldn't we just change the name of the town itself? I mean Athens, Greece was the center of Greek mythology. Having a town named after Athens would mix religion and government, right?
What about the statue of Athena in front of the Classic Center? When the world was watching for the Olympics, no one had a problem with it. But, now that the Olympics are over, we can go back to our politically correct nonsense and wipe out any trace of culture. I suppose no school can teach mythology any longer. Never mind the children will grow up and never understand all the many references to Greek and Roman mythology around us everyday. We have to protect them from religion. It's for the children's sake. No longer can Milton's ''Paradise Lost'' or Dante's ''Inferno'' be taught. Someone may sue.
People, even if you're an atheist, religion is part of our daily lives. Whether you worship Zeus, Allah, God (with or without Jesus), a rock or nothing at all, all religions, past and present, have an impact on our lives. There is nothing wrong with that.

You Can Get Arrested for That: 2 Guys, 25 Dumb Laws, 1 Absurd American Crime Spreeby Rich Smith

Two Englishmen on a crime spree break American laws!
Stupid, unreasonable, and long-forgotten laws—but laws just the same.
In 1787 the wise framers of the U.S. Constitution laid out the laws of the land. Since then, things have gone awry, and a few laws even the far-sighted framers couldn't have imagined have worked their way onto the books in towns and cities across the country.
Did you know that in the United States it's illegal to:
• Fish while wearing pajamas in Chicago, Illinois?
• Enter a theater within three hours of eating garlic in Indianapolis?
• Offer cigarettes or whiskey to zoo animals in New Jersey?
• Fall asleep in a cheese factory in South Dakota?
Englishman Rich Smith discovered these little-known laws during a great American crime spree that took him from coast to coast in search of girls to kiss (it's illegal to kiss for longer than five minutes at a time in Kansas), oranges to peel (which the law says shouldn't be done in hotel rooms in California), and whales to hunt (unlawful in Utah).
What inspired a perfectly law abiding, mild-mannered Englishman to come to America and take on the law? He simply wanted to know why. How did these "only in America" laws come to be, do the police know they exist, and would they care if he broke them? So with his best mate, Bateman, by his side—and at the ready should bail be required—Smith set out to break the law in the United States.
Part road trip, part chronicle of the absurdity of human behavior, part search for the ultimate in roadkill, You Can Get Arrested for That follows Smith and Bateman on their not quite Bonnie and Clyde adventure.

Read an Excerpt
"A wanghee? What the hell is a wanghee?"
It was Christmas Day, and I had left my friends in the pub in order to play Balderdash with my eleven-year-old neighbour and his family. Balderdash is like a board game version of Call My Bluff, and it's a favourite Yuletide game for my neighbours, the Ellis family. The player acting as quizmaster reads out a question, and the individual players make up plausible answers. The quizmaster selects up to six answers to read out, including the real one. Your aim is to make your fabrication so believable that your opponents select it instead of the real one.
As the game progressed, many of the family members fell by the wayside. Lewis, the eleven-year-old, and his brother, Danny, remained strong competitors, but their mum and grandparents struggled with the ever-increasing pace of the game. You could tell that Linda, Lewis' grandmother, was the most in need of helpher countless shrugs and blank stares were a dead giveaway. Each of her responses was either an unwitting "Oh, the second one" or "I don't know. I'll go for the same as Lisa." These answers always prompted an ardent outcry from Lewis, who was starting to become frustrated at his nan's inability to follow the play. She was sound in mind, but when it really countedplaying board gamesshe clearly lacked the relevant criteria required for victory.
Lewis was in total charge. He was the youngest player in the game and wanted to win it fairly, and I respected him for his integrity. He was also the most competitive, and as he was just a mere point from victory, he obviously didn't need any favours. I, on the other hand, was five points from being crowned Balderdash champ, and not only did I need to come up with a definition that would fool everybody, but also I would have to choose the true meaning of the word after all the definitions had been read out. This was the most crucial stage in the game, and as Lewis selected a card from the box, he clearly thought that even though he was the designated reader and this turn was probably going to be a non-scoring round for him, his substantial lead couldn't sliponly a miracle would stop him from claiming board game supremacy when it was my turn to play quizmaster.
A wanghee . . . a bloody wanghee? I thought. This made-up definition had to be brilliantgood just wouldn't cut it.
"Hurry up!" shouted Lewis, becoming impatient. He was anxious to get through this round and on to his coronation in the next.
"OK, OK. Hang on. I've almost finished," I replied. I had finished writing, and my definition was believable, I thought. I read it back to myself: Wanghee: a small South American bird that nests in the fur of other animals. It sounded good. Very good. I handed it to Lewis and awaited the usual smirk of confirmation that normally followed the reading of the answers. It never came. In fact, my submission was greeted with a slight shake of the head.
What did that mean?
Lewis had played this game many times before, and I was but a Balderdash virgin. Had the definition been used in a previous game that the members of his family were sure to recollect? Was it so stupid that not even Linda might choose it?
"A wanghee," Lewis began. "Is it . . ." My heart raced as Lewis read the first four definitions, leaving mine as one of the final two: ". . . Chinese bamboo used for making canes; or a small South American bird that nests in the fur of other animals?"
God, it sounded even better when accompanied by the other definitions.
"Yep. I've heard of that. It's the South American bird." There was an air of certainty about Lisa's response. She sounded so convincing, it was just enough to plant a seed of belief in the minds of the others.
"I'll go for that too," added Cliff, the grandfather.
"Oh, I'll just go with what Lisa said." It was good to hear Linda's trademark one final time.
Lewis looked concerned.
"It might be the bird one," said Danny cautiously. He wasn't about to rush into any decision like the other members of his family. He was cagey and played the game logically. "That bird one's yours, isn't it, Rich?" he asked. He paused and waited for a crack in my poker-faced defence. I remained stoic. In an act of allegiance to his mother's intellect, he proudly declared, "Yeah, I'm going for the bird one too."
"Well, the bird one does sound tempting," I said, trying to hide any signs of ownership. "But the only thing that stops me guessing that is the fact that I wrote it," I added, finally flashing a toothy grin. The hard work had already been donethey had all picked my answer. That meant four points for me, one for each person I had convinced. I now needed only to select the correct definition from the remaining five, in order to gain the fifth point that would take me ahead of Lewis in a crushing upset.
"It's got to be the bamboo," I said to Lewis. "Yeah, I'll go for the bamboo, Lew."
Lewis stared down at the board, clearly counting the number of squares I'd be moving.
"And Rich wins," came Lewis' disappointed drone of congratulation.
"Sorry, mate," I replied sincerely.
I was sorry. I felt bad about my success. I had snatched triumph from an eleven-year-old's grasp at the very last second, just when he could taste victoryand on Christmas Day, of all days. I didn't quite know what to say to cheer him up.
Stuff it.
"Winner!" I yelled jubilantly at the top of my lungs, "I can't believe you all fell for it!"
I figured you only get one chance to spoil a young boy's Christmas, so I was going to make the most of it. Lewis knew I was only joking, anyway.
"Yeah, good game, Rich," Lewis said, already sounding as if he'd recovered from his defeat. The boy was competitive, there was no doubt about it, but he was also a good sportsman. He knew he'd been beaten by a better man that day, but he had to be pleased that he'd come so close to beating someone who was twice his age. We chatted as we packed the game away. I started to flick through the box of questions. I remembered one from an earlier round that had intrigued me to such a degree, I hoped to find some similar ones. Like Trivial Pursuit, each card has questions on several topicsin this case it was unknown abbreviations, film titles, people, or (the most bemusing of them all) a completely inane law. Earlier in the game, the Ellises and I had been asked what activity was illegal for divorced women to do in Florida on Sundays. No one's answer even came close to the truth.
"And the real answer is: it is illegal for a divorced woman to go parachuting on a Sunday."
For the first time that evening, the real answer turned out to be far more ludicrous than any of our manufactured ones.
Divorced women couldn't parachute on Sundays? It simply made no sense. I spent the next few minutes completely distracted from the game, thinking of reasons as to why such a law existed. Maybe women with failed marriages were heavily frowned upon from a reverent viewpoint in the state of Florida, and God wanted nothing to do with themespecially on his day, with them being so close to him up in the clouds.
I was sure there was some sort of fabulously esoteric explanation, but in truth the reason for the law's existence didn't intrigue me so much. What fascinated me was the mere fact that such a law existed. The most entertaining country in the world had given me yet another reason to smile.

Short and entertaining, but with very little nutritional value. About half of the book focuses on the daring duo and their crime spree. The rest of the time, Rich tends to wander off on tangents unrelated to his goal, but still amusing to read. For many Americans, this could be that rare glimpse into how the rest of the world views us and our deplorable lack of round-abouts. A very quick read and fun in most parts, but currently rather overpriced.
You Can Get Arrested For That is about a man named Rich Smith, he is an Englishman who goes to the U.S. to break 25 of the stupidest laws he can find. Most of the laws he is able to break but not all. Rich and his friend, Bateman, live in Portreath on the north Cornish coast of England. He is studying journalism, but he really wants to be a teacher. One day Rich finds 25 dumb laws and decides to break them. He and Bateman decide to go to the states and break them. Rich Smith and his friend Bateman are on a crazy crime spree in America. They break some of the stupidest laws ever. The laws include it is illegal to fall asleep in a cheese factory in North Dakota, or it is illegal to fish in your pajamas in Chicago. Rich is not happy if he can not succeed in the breaking of one of the laws. I think this book can be interesting to some people but I would not be the one to recommend it, because I did not find it very stimulating. I think this book would appeal to some people but not every one.

Oh shit this is nice man!
Wow! Well well done. That is a fantastic job and an even more fantastic idea! I've been just scrolling through mask thumbnails lately but this jumped out like you wouldn't believe, even without paint or color. I love how you kept the cultural aesthetic, and the way the skull and snake jaws line up. I can only imagine what it'll look like when it's done!
I appreciate the feedback Michi- I'm glad it stood out. the painting will be harder for me to balance color without compromising the form. i guess thats what practice is about though! CHEERS!
Dear god, I really hope you make a DiY version of this mask. Its absolutely gorgeous!

Could you help me find the right algorithm for image resizing? I have an image of a number. The maximum size is 200x200, I need to get an image with size 15x15 or even less. The image is monochrome (black and white) and the result should be the same. That's the info about my task.
I've already tried one algorithm, here it is
// xscale, yscale - decrease/increase rate
for (int f = 0; f<=49; f++)
for (int g = 0; g<=49; g++)//49+1 - final size
xpos = (int)f * xscale;
ypos = (int)g * yscale;
But it won't work with the decrease of an image, which is my prior target. Could you help me find an algorithm, which could solve that problem (quality mustn't be perfect, the speed doesn't even matter). Some information about it would be perfect too considering the fact I'm a newbie. Of course, a short piece of c/c++ code (or a library) will be perfect too.
Edit: I've found an algorithm. Will it be suitable for compressing from 200 to 20?

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- The supporting cast to Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant needs to contribute more to the Los Angeles Lakers. So do O'Neal and Bryant.
And it's not strictly about points for the superstars or lack of the same for their teammates.
"When you start to see three guys or four guys or five guys as one in terms of intensity, other facets of the game will take care of themselves," supporting cast leader Derek Fisher said before practice Saturday. "We aren't playing the right way.
"We've always been able to figure out a way to score points -- it's not about a third guy or a fourth guy. It's not about this guy or that guy not stepping up. We don't have an offense that highlights key guys, per se. We just play the game."
The Lakers will have to play the game a lot better Sunday night in Game 4 or face being down 3-1 to the Detroit Pistons. No team has overcome that deficit in the NBA Finals.
While the Lakers credit the Pistons' defense, they believe their biggest problems are self-inflicted.
"I think we can do a better job of cutting. The ball has to be moved through the air more than the dribble -- make the defense shift," assistant coach Tex Winter said. "You can't take it inside on the dribble. We haven't done a good job off basic cuts. We haven't done a good job with our basic offense, not at all."
Bryant would seem to be the major culprit in that regard. But he's not alone.
"They're playing Kobe very well. We have to get him better looks," Gary Payton said.
"We're having really bad possessions," Fisher said. "A lot of them, we feel, are our fault."
There have been defensive breakdowns, too. And rebounding has been a major problem with the Pistons getting more than six more per game than the Lakers, who had only three at the offensive end in the first three quarters of an 88-68 loss in Game 3.
"We need one of those 20-, 25-rebound games from Shaq," Fisher said.
Easier said than done, considering what O'Neal seems capable of at this stage of his career and the Pistons' inside depth and strength.
O'Neal is averaging 8.7 rebounds in the finals, and isn't getting his normal help from the injured Karl Malone, who is playing despite having what he believes to be a torn ligament in his right knee.
"We can't get down -- they've still got to beat us twice," Payton said. "We haven't been playing good basketball. I don't think we've had a good game yet. We have to play together. They've
been playing together and hustling a lot. We haven't been doing that."
O'Neal is averaging 25.7 points and Bryant is averaging 23.0. Devean George is the Lakers' third-leading scorer with a 6.7-point average, and nobody other than O'Neal or Bryant has reached double figures in any of the three games.
One of the keys in the Lakers' three championships in the last four years was the scoring of such role players as Fisher, Glen Rice, Robert Horry, Brian Shaw and Rick Fox, among others.
Fisher believes the Lakers don't necessarily need a third player to reach double figures as long as they're doing their job, the thought being several have the ability to contribute.
Winter said the Lakers might have to call upon "guys who know the offense more."
He specifically mentioned Fox, a starter in recent years and early in the playoffs who hasn't played much recently because of injuries and ineffectiveness.
"I'm better with inactivity and rest," said Fox, most recently bothered by a sore neck and shoulders. "I'm going to go to practice now, see if I can audition for some minutes."
Lakers coach Phil Jackson said he was considering starting Slava Medvedenko in place of Malone, who was limited to 18 minutes in Game 3, including only six in the second half.
Jackson also said Malone might ride a stationary bike at halftime Sunday night to try and avoid cooling off and experiencing stiffness in his knee, something that happened in Game 3.
"He ran the court relatively well in the first quarter," Jackson said.
Malone had three of his five points and all four of his rebounds in the opening period, when he played 11 minutes and did a terrific job defending Rasheed Wallace.
Jackson summed up his team's problems pretty well when asked if this was the least complementary team he's had in Los Angeles.
"I decline to answer that question on the grounds I may incriminate myself," he said.

Spring Cleaning Your Website: 5 Minimum Effort, Maximum Effect ResolutionsBy Monique Pouget
This Sunday, most of the country (except those pesky Zonies) will celebrate one of my least-favorite holidays: Daylight Saving Time. While I'm mostly bummed about losing an hour of sleep, there is a bright side: spring is a great time to clean out what you have and reflect on what's to come.
So, we're kicking off "Spring Forward" month on the blog with a little website R&R. Rather than listing everything that goes into a full site audit, the goal of this post is to showcase the areas of your site that could use some spring cleaning. Who doesn't love minimum effort, maximum effect, am I right? Let's get started.
1. Metadata
Metadata has grown way beyond title and description tags, and of course the long-ago dismissed keywords. Metadata now encompasses directives to Google like rel=canonical, social media tags, Google+ only tags, the gradually catching-on schema tags (like the popular authorship markup), and even Facebook Open Graph tags.
In the spirit of spring cleaning, let's focus on the low-hanging fruit that deserve renewed attention: title and description tags, and more recently, authorship markup.
Keyword research is usually one of the first things we focus on when working on a new campaign. What types of terms does the client want to be found for? How does this compare to the words their customers are using to discuss similar products or services? Which terms are the most competitive and where are the opportunities for this website? Keyword research influences anything and everything, from complex content strategies to basic metadata.
Title tags used to be defined by the number of characters search engines displayed in results (less than 70 characters, to be exact). More recently, some studies have shown that search engines don't always follow character count, and that pixel width is more important. For example, title tags that use "I" and "l" or even "t" and "r" take up less room, and are thus preferable to tags with "W", "N", "R", "E" and the like.
While we'd never recommend using only thin letters to squeeze more characters in (but I'd like to see you try), this is an interesting departure from the 10 Commandments of SEO (do those exist?). Instead, keep this in mind when creating title and description tags, and don't let character limits get in the way of an awesome meta tag. Or even better, check out this thorough list of 18 meta tags every webpage should have in 2013.
March is a great time to rethink your current meta tags. Have you shifted focus in terms of focus keywords, and maybe you need to revamp or start fresh? What's your on-page report card grade? Are you one of the few sites implementing authorship correctly? You can also confirm this in Webmaster Tools by checking out Optimization > Structured Data, or test URLs individually with the Google Structured Data Testing Tool.
(Side note: Schema markup for breweries?! Rad.)
tl;dr: No matter how you slice it, cleaning out your metadata and adding structured data to your site can lead to some serious SEO benefits.
2. Site Performance
At SearchFest last month, there were several presentations that focused on site performance and speed, and how this affects both user experience and rankings. In fact, in 2010, Google even announced that site speed was a ranking factor, making it impossible for us to ignore as marketers, right?
Slow loading pages have higher bounce rates and those users spend less time on those pages, while fast loading pages can be indexed quickly, meaning more traffic opportunities in the SERPs, and ultimately, more conversions.
So wake up couch potato! Here are a few tools to help you test your site performance:
- Web Performance Best Practices is a nice resource from Google that breaks down the different aspects of page load optimization.
- PageSpeed Insights is a simple and insightful site performance tool that Max showed me this week. You can enter any URL, and the tool will return details about your site with helpful suggestions to make your pages faster. It breaks everything down by priority, shows you what needs to happen on your pages, and provides a PageSpeed score on a scale of 1 to 100. Suggestions include anything from "leverage browser caching" to "serving scaled images." At least consider taking care of the "High Priority" items. We saw a client go from a mid-60's score to a low 90's after addressing all the "High Priority" and most of the "Medium Priority" recommendations. Thanks Big G!
- WebPageTest is another page testing tool, and it's one of the more popular and detailed resources. Added benefits include testing multiple geographic locations, different browsers, different connection types and mobile devices. I find the breakdown between first visit and repeat visit interesting, and I like the way WPT makes simple suggestions for those that aren't as technical.
- Google Analytics also has a site and page speed section (Content > Site Speed > Overview). It shows you which landing pages are the slowest, which campaigns correspond to faster page loads, and how page load time varies across geographies and browsers. By default, this feature only samples 1% of your site visitors, and the GA API does not support all browsers, including Safari (goodbye iPhone data!), but here's a handy workaround for increasing sample size.
- Want to see GA site performance data in one spot? Check out this sweet Site Performance dashboard for GA that I found in Modesto Siotos' site speed optimization post, which is an incredible resource in itself.
- Want to tie site speed to the bottom line? Conversion Loss Calculator estimates revenue gained by reduced site speed, which resonates with clients.
So, how can we speed up site performance? Well, it's not easily said nor done, but where there's a will there's a way. First off, evaluate what Google recommends in the PageSpeed Insights tool mentioned above. Start with high priority fixes and work with developers if the changes are beyond your technical scope. There's also a super thorough white paper from the folks at iCrossing about site performance that's well worth a read or two.
tl;dr: Fast loading pages increase traffic, pageviews and conversions, while making users happy simultaneously. Optimizing your site for speed is a low-hanging-fruit-opportunity that you should seize.
3. Readable and Indexable Content
Search engines use robots to crawl your site's pages, and since we spend so much time and money on quality content, it's important that they can actually read and index your website. Maybe your content wasn't readable in the first place, or maybe your site growth has lead to content not being viewable by Google. Either way, something's gotta change!
To check for readable content, first compare cached or text-only versions of pages to the live web page. Are you seeing the same content? Next, turn off Java and CSS to make sure Google "sees" all that you want Google to index. There are several ways to do this, but we like using the Firefox Web Developer Extension to toggle back and forth between JS and CSS.
In terms of indexed content, a quick site:example.com search returns the estimated number of indexed pages, but if you want to dig deeper, Webmaster Tools is a useful tool to get familiar with. "Index Status" (GWT > Health > Index Status) shows you the total number of indexed and crawled pages, which pages are blocked by robots, or even pages that have been removed for legal reasons or from webmaster requests. If your indexed and crawled pages are steadily increasing, it's a sign that Google can regularly access and index your content. If you see a sudden drop or a ton of duplicate pages, check to make sure your server isn't down and figure out why search engines are having trouble accessing your content. Or you know, call us.
tl;dr: Why bother having amazing content if search engines can't understand it? Make sure your site pages are readable and indexable by the bots, and check for any warning signs in Webmaster Tools.
4. Crawl Errors
If the bots are having difficulties navigating through your content (read: it is not readable or indexable), they will give you details (aka HTTP Status Codes) about these URLs in the "Crawl Errors" section of Webmaster Tools. What's worse, the Googlebot might try to access your website via a link to a missing page (the dreaded 404 error) which says to Google, "Go away!" and it does. This means Googlebot stops crawling your site and indexing your juicy content, potentially resulting in a loss of both rankings for the page (that is now missing) and rankings for other pages (including new pages) that aren't getting a fresh crawl.
Of course, the ultimate travesty is that a user (yep, a human being, aka "the customer") might land on an error page and just leave (that's NOT a score for the home team).
Google does a good job of breaking down the different types of crawl errors. Along with Webmaster Tools, here are some other tools to help you investigate:
- SEOmoz Crawl Test helps you zero in on duplicate content, redirects, rel-canonicals and more. It will explain the HTTP Status Codes, and it breaks everything down in a CSV. Warning: This report could take a few days to populate, so plan accordingly.
- Ayima Redirect Checker is an awesome extension that flags 301s, 302s, 404s and 500 HTTP Status Codes.
- Screaming Frog has a bajillion uses (see this amazing guide from SEER Interactive for proof), including crawling sites and subdirectories, looking for redirects, and more.
tl;dr: Crawl errors aren't good for users or search engines. With so many crawl tools available, you have no excuse!
5. Keyword Cannibalization
Contrary to popular belief, keyword cannibalization has nothing to do with fava beans and a nice chianti. Instead, it means that search engines think multiple pages are about a single term or phrase. This forces Google to choose between the various pages and pick one that it feels is the best fit.
One way to see which pages Google is confused about, head on over to Webmaster Tools (again!) and check our Traffic > Search Queries. Click the "Filters" button to add in a keyword of choice. This happened with one of our real estate clients. They have a regional page for Baltimore, but as seen below, four different property-specific pages were competing for the term "luxury apartments baltimore."
The idea was to figure out which page we wanted to rank, and then make the appropriate changes to the other competing pages. Knowing this site, the goal is to rank the regional pages, so we've started "turning the Baltimore dial down" for the property pages so that search engines see the regional page as the main page.
So, what's a good way to curb keyword cannibalization for your site? First of all, have a plan! We make a keyword map for each client that breaks down top pages and the keywords we'll use for each page. Bypass stuffing your top keyword in every page, and focus on unique, valuable variations that link back to the main target page for your keyword.
Using 301s and rel=canonical for duplicate pages also helps, and if a blog tag page seems to be out-ranking a service page, consider deindexing.
Note: Keyword cannibalization is different from duplicate content. With keyword cannibalization, Google is showing multiple URLs in the index (and search results if you're lucky), and Google "thinks" these pages are all about the same query. So, Google potentially dilutes the site's rankings across all the competing URLs, thus cannibalizing rankings for any one page. Duplicate content differs in that Google has determined there are more than one page with the same content. In this circumstance, Google will decide which is the "parent" page and potentially remove the other URLs from the index. This is when rel=canonical is helpful for telling Google: "Hey G! We know this page is a dupe of another so please reference the other "canonical" page and don't penalize us."
tl;dr: Trying to rank every page on your site for your top keyword is not a great strategy. Instead, prioritize your keywords and map out which pages you will target with these terms.

February 2013 Indie Next List
"Oh, Dave Barry, how I love you! Your scathingly funny, over-the-top novels make me laugh out loud in public, and your depictions of South Florida would strike me as exaggerated, but my brother lives there and I know you speak the truth.

But Seth has absolutely no idea what he's about to get into. A simple drink or two with the boys sparks a series of events that will pit Seth and his friends against everything and everyone imaginable, from his very powerful, very disapproving soon-to-be father-in-law to the federal government to a love-struck orangutan.
Seth's hope for smooth sailing is turning into a trip on the "Titanic." And the water is getting deeper by the minute

Peter Kaufmann (politician)
Peter Kaufmann is a businessman and former municipal politician in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. He has been a city councillor and school trustee, and has campaigned for Mayor of Winnipeg on two occasions.
Early life and career[edit]
Kaufmann was born in 1947 on the Danish island of Fejø. His father Ivan left Denmark for Sweden before World War II, because his last name was Jewish, and he feared persecution from the Nazis. His father later returned and fought against the Nazis with the Danish resistance movement.[1] Kaufmann moved to rural Manitoba with his family in 1954, and later settled in Winnipeg.[2] He is the founder of the local grocery franchise Kaufmann Foods, the first branch of which was set up in 1979 in St. Vital. In 1993, Kaufmann said that his intent was to provide service for areas neglected by major supermarket chains.[3]
Trustee and councillor[edit]
Kaufmann was elected to the St. Vital school board in 1983, and served for three years before his defeat in 1986. His support for a sex-education program that was opposed by some local groups probably contributed to his loss.[1] He was later elected to city council in the 1989 municipal election for Seine Valley. He supported efforts to keep the Winnipeg Jets hockey franchise in the city.[4] In 1991, he brought forward a motion requiring cyclists in Winnipeg to wear helmets.[5] His ward was eliminated for the 1992 municipal election, and he did not seek election elsewhere.
In early 1995, Kaufmann represented a group of local businessmen in their effort to build a new arena next to the Winnipeg Convention Centre, with the intent of keeping the Jets in the city. This was a rival proposal to that offered by the Manitoba Entertainment Complex (MEC).[6] The plan was unsuccessful.
1995 mayoral campaign[edit]
Kaufmann first campaigned for Mayor of Winnipeg in the 1995 municipal election. He pledged to eliminate the business tax over ten years, shift school taxes from property to income, cut city staff and budgets, and restructure city council to dissolve the board of commissioners. He supported an apprentice program for at-risk youth and opposed the sale of Winnipeg Hydro to the private sector, although he favoured contracting out various municipal services.[7] Kaufmann said that he would spend up to $10 million to refurbish Winnipeg's existing arena, but would not support construction of a new arena in the near future.[8]
He also said that he would move to shut down the Winnipeg's food banks, describing them as an unfair drain on local groceries and suggesting that his pro-business platform would eliminate the need for such outlets.[9] He later qualified this statement by indicating that he not shut down food banks immediately, and acknowledging that many Winnipeg residents depended on them.[10]
Kaufmann described himself as an "outsider" candidate against both incumbent Susan Thompson and challenger Terry Duguid, whom he identified as the candidates of "big business" and "big unions" respectively. Kaufmann said that he was a candidate of "the people", and likened his candidacy to those of Ross Perot, Ralph Klein and Mike Harris.[2] Some in the local media criticized his platform as simplistic, and as privileging business interests over social concerns.[11] Generally portrayed as a right-wing candidate, Kaufmann nonetheless expressed support for some left-wing positions such as a guaranteed income.[12] His supporters included Al Golden and John Prystanski.[13]
Initially considered the third-ranked candidate, Kaufmann gained momentum in the campaign's final weeks and finished a surprisingly strong second behind Thompson. He remained active in municipal affairs after the election, and spoke against tax increases introduced by the Thompson administration.[14] There was very little surprise when he decided to campaign for mayor a second time again in the 1998 municipal election.
1998 mayoral campaign[edit]
Kaufmann highlighted many of the same themes as in 1995, and was primarily focused on tax reduction. The dynamic of the contest, however, was quite different. Susan Thompson did not run for re-election, and Kaufmann's primary opponent was Glen Murray, a popular centre-left councillor who soon emerged as the frontrunning candidate. Kaufmann again highlighted his "outsider" status, and worked as his own campaign manager.[15] Both candidates promised tax cuts and government efficiency, leading some in the media to conclude that there was little practical difference between their campaigns.[16]
Kaufmann promised to reduce property taxes by 21.4% over five years, cut up to 2,500 city jobs, and impose user fees for some services.[17] Unlike in the 1995 campaign, he promised to sell Winnipeg Hydro and put the revenues toward debt reduction and lower taxes. Murray argued the sale would pose long-term dangers for the city.[18] Kaufmann, in return, argued that Murray was insincere in his pledge to reduce taxes.[19]
Despite an endorsement from the Winnipeg Free Press newspaper, Kaufmann narrowly lost to Murray on election day.[20] He later acknowledged that his proposal to cut municipal jobs was a mistake.[21]
After 1998[edit]
Kaufmann turned over the day-to-day operations of Kaufmann Foods to his brother after the election, and began working for Flanders Real Estate Ltd.[22] He later joined CB Richard Ellis Chartier & Associates.[23] He was barred from running in the 2002 municipal election after he failed to submit an audited list of election expenses (he indicated that he had no intention of running anyway).[24] He wrote a guest editorial for the Winnipeg Free Press in 2006, arguing that high school taxes have been responsible for Winnipeg's urban decline.[25]
Kaufmann has recently supported left-leaning candidates for mayor. During the 2002 contest, he said that Glen Murray had done a good job and deserved to be re-elected.[26] He later supported MaryAnn Mihychuk in a 2004 by-election, after Murray resigned to run for the Canadian House of Commons.[27]
Kaufmann supports the Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba, and was a supporter of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada until he joined the Canadian Alliance in 2000.[28] Somewhat improbably, he has listed Margaret Thatcher and Stanley Knowles as his political heroes.[1]

I'm another one who prefers paper magazines to online. I miss both Simple Scrapbooking and Scrapbooks etc. I don't mind Creating Keepsakes, but I find that about 98% of their layouts of kid-related, and since I don't have kids, they're not really relevant to me. That said though, I have found some great ideas in CK for techniques and colour combinations.
I'm lucky to have a few great LSS's near me - one of which is right across the street from where I work! They always have lots of great new product, and the staff are all super-friendly.

I did not want a mountain bike or a ten speed roas bike. The hybrid style works best for me. For those on a budget, this bike is a great deal. The handlebars are are swept back more than a standard hybrid, but they are still comfortable. After a few minutes you get used to the design and the padded leather hand grips are comfortable. The carrier rack is heavy duty. The grip shifter is a nice design, just being a thick rubber collar separated from the grip itself, unlike a Shimano grip shifter that was the whole handgrip and easy to shift gears by mistake that I had on my Trek hybrid a few years ago. It features a quick release hub on the front wheell and a quick release seat. It is painted a nice dark blue.
I'm very satisfied with this bike. Only two drawbacks for me...the bolt that mounts the front fender is too long to use. Even after I requested a new bolt, I was sent the same long bolt. You can use a 3/8 thick large nut as a washer and it mounts OK. The other drawback is that even though it comes mostly assembled, it does help if you know something about bike assembly, because the Owner's manual/assembly guide is very vague and is generic for all types of bike. The brakes will need to be adjusted and centered.
But, all in all, I recommend this bike.
I was very excited when I bought the Schwinn Admiral bike. It was inexpensive and attractive. They didn't have the women's bike so I bought the men's. I've had Schwinn bikes my whole life and never had a problem. The first week the front tire blew out. I bought the floor model, so I excused this as a minor problem. Maybe someone test rode it with a low tire, etc. When I went to Walmart to purchase a new tube I found out Walmart doesn't carry the 700c tubes. I had to search 5 different independent bike shops before I found a 700c tube, and it wasn't cheap. One month later the rear tire blew. The front tube lasted about 3 months. This morning on my way to work, while it sat in the back of my of the truck with no weight on it, the front tire blew. I have come to the decision that the structure of this bike and its wheels must be inferior quality. I have now spent almost as much in tubes as I have purchasing the bike. I am past my 3 month return date, and I don't have my receipt. I will be saving up to buy a new bike, and it won't be from Walmart.
I like my bike its got a good look, nice style, good ride, and nice comfort.
Excellent bike if you resolve the following:
1-Out of the box it will need adjustments to the components such as the brakes, rear derailleurs, etc. (This is true of all bikes.)
2-On my bike the front brake pads were improperly installed.
3-Instructions were inadequate and misleading.
4-If you are not mechanically inclined and are not familiar with bike components, you will have to pay a bike shop to go over the bike and do the necessary. Add this cost to the price of the bike.
5-Otherwise the bike is a 5 star bike.
This is a cool bike for a great price. My local store assembled it very quickly and for free. My only complaint - the blue frame is a different shade than it appeared on the WM Web site. It's also very comfortable to ride but a bit tall for me -- I'm about 5'10''.
It's heavy, also inner tub in both weeles need to be exange $12 each (the original tubes went out of air in 2 days). But everything else is good. Plastic pedals may get bad but so far they are ok. Bike is comfortable bike, great seat.

>Crescent City California News, Sports, & Weather | The Triplicate
From the pages of the Del Norte Triplicate, July 1945.
Crescent City was host to a big flock of visitors over the Fourth of
July holiday with a fast-moving celebration program that kept the crowd
completely entertained throughout the day.
Weather conditions here were just about perfect for the occasion,
hundreds of automobiles lining Ocean Drive to witness the parade that
started the day's festivities. The celebration committee kept things
running smoothly, the parade being immediately followed by the treasure
hunt for the kiddies, then the kid's races, both of which distributed
considerable cash among the youngsters.

If Mike Huckabee Had to Choose Between Nancy Pelosi and Helen Thomas, He'd Just Be Gay
"At times, he seems unable to resist the force of his own funniness."
In a New Yorker profile of the former governor of Arkansas Mike Huckabee, Ariel Levy says the Fox News star "seems unable to resist the force of his own funniness." When Levy made a crack about a [fictitious] affair with Nancy Pelosi, Huckabee shot back:
"The only thing worse than a torrid affair with sweet, sweet Nancy would be a torrid affair with Helen Thomas. If those were my only options, I'd probably be for same-sex marriage!"

News Love is more constant than light
Charles, I must disagree about your Watada post. You stated that, "those who have led young soldiers to their deaths in Iraq are not virtuous but vicious; and those who are dying in Iraq are not courageous but foolish." In Orwell's Why I Write, he states
The left-wing intelligentsia wanted to go on and on, sniggering at the Blimps, sapping away at middle-class morale, but still keeping their favoured position as hangers-on of the dividend-drawers… Obviously the snobbishness and political ignorance of people like airmen and naval officers will be a very great difficulty. But without those airmen, destroyer commanders, etc. etc. we could not survive for a week. The only approach to them is through their patriotism.
Rather, as a whole, we must move forward. To quote Negri and Hardt's Multitude,
In order to speak of a new Left today one has to speak, on one hand, in terms of a postsocialist and postliberal program, based on a material and conceptual rupture, an ontological break with the ideological traditions of the industrial workers movements… One also has to deal with the new anthropological reality, with new agents of production and subjects of exploitation that remain singular. One must consider the activity of the singular agents as the matrix of the freedom and multiplicity of everyone. Here democracy becomes a direct object. Democracy can no longer be evaluated in the liberal manner as a limit of equality or in the socialist way as a limit of freedom but rather must be the radicalization without reserve of both freedom and equality. Perhaps some day soon we will have arrived at the point when we can look back with irony at the barbaric old times when in order to be free we had to keep our own brothers and sisters slaves or to be equal we were constrained to inhuman sacrifices of freedom. In our view, freedom and equality can be the motors of a revolutionary reinvention of democracy.
In short, the people must come together as we all fall prey to closed-circuit global hegemony. The Multitude of people will include the material and immaterial worker, the civilian and combatant, the poor and the (somewhat) rich.
Eli makes an excellent point that this is truly a new manifestation of dialectic reasoning in the collective consciousness of the United States. While President Bush has steeped his legacy in the outcome of Iraq in a most Utilitarian of fashions, Lieutenant Watada has opened up the discourse of the Categorical Imperative. Watada's persistence has demonstrated the need for Americans to address the moral (and legal) qualms of the war in its primacy, rather than Bush's intent for the end to justify the means.

From care packages to overseas, to "lobbying" our representatives to pass the bill so they can send care packages overseas, to benefits consolations, to get aways for needed veterans, to, to to, the list is endless.
AVET serves as the hub to many service providers in the community willing to assist veterans and current military personnel.
I support and will continue to support AVET in the work they do.
