Another router or a hub?
What would you guys do without me and my on-going problems?
Anyway, I have:
1) Comcast Business Class with an SMC Networks modem - 4 LAN ports (only using 1 port now)
2) D-Link DGL-4100 4-Port GamerLounge Broadband Gigabit Gaming Router
Problem: I am out of ports on my 4-port router and need a "few" more.
Question: Should I put my printer, a 3rd computer, my AV surveillance, etc. through another router (since I have the available port (3 more LAN ports available) or should I add a hub to my existing Gamer Lounge D-Link router? (not interested in wireless)
I have a Netgear hub but it is older than most of the members of this forum, so I don't wish to use it.
Why am I even asking this question? Well, I already had the most highly recommended modem for Comcast internet. Even one of the "knowledgeable" Comcast tech reps recommended it for Business Class as well. Problem is it would not work when I upgraded from Peon Class to Business Class, so I had to lease a proprietary modem from Comcast.
That makes me somewhat concerned as to how to add ports without screwing up my Comcast SMC Networks modem.
Additional, and unsolicited, information: Those of you who actually believe we have "Broadband" in the U.S. are sadly mistaken. Internet in the U.S. is almost as slow as the U.S. Mail. And, No, Comcast is not a monopoly. It's just the only ISP available. )
Edit: It appears that I'm still living in the past - ah, like about 15 years ago. What I believe should be the choice would be switch vs router. Why?
Switches work the same way as hubs, but they can identify the intended destination of the information that they receive, so they send that information to only the computers that are supposed to receive it. Switches can send and receive information at the same time, so they can send information faster than hubs can.

I'm going to take a stab at this.
Your getting your private (LAN) address from your Gamer Lounge D-Link router?
If this is the cause it would be best just to get a new switch (not a HUB).
but if you're getting your private (LAN) address from the Comcast Business Class with an SMC Network. Then you can place use up the 4 devices becuase your Gamer Lounge D-Link router would have to be setup like a switch.
Of the two its pretty much where your DHCP Server resides.

Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8
I have used a Netgear switch and that worked perfectly.
And you are right - the internet connections in the US are stone age type and have Roman prices. I pay nearly $40 for a DSL 3000. In Germany I pay $20 for a DSL 6000. My son has a DSL 56.000 on glass wires. It's the copper that is the bottleneck.
|My System Specs
|14 Jan 2013
Been doing my homework like a demon. Things really have changed since the 90's. Yes, I know. That's pretty obvious.
Well, after doing tons of reading and finding out that I wanted more than an unmanaged switch but less control than I would receive with a fully managed (and really expensive) switch, I decided on:
Netgear ProSafe Plus Switch, 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet (GS108E)
Now, please be advised that if you tell me I just made a really dumb decision, I could become extremely depressed. I am going through so many problems right now with my computers that I am in quite a fragile state.
Well, go ahead anyway. Hit me with the truth - as you see it.
|My System Specs
|14 Jan 2013
Whew! Just checked the reviews of this GS108E over at NewEgg. Not good.
Netgear ProSafe Plus Switch, 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet (GS108E) Newegg.com - NETGEAR 8 Port Gigabit Unmanged Plus Business-Class Desktop Switch - Lifetime Warranty (GS108E)
Did I make the best choice here - or should I have considered another switch?
|My System Specs
|14 Jan 2013
Just read the review and go from there. This is my unmanaged switch
|My System Specs
|15 Jan 2013
Yes, Parman, the GS108 does get better reviews.
The GS108E gives you more control over the ports and is in a sense more of a "managed" switch, without the complexity and pricing of a fully managed switch.
Can anybody help me make a decision here as to which direction I should go?
It seems to me that the GS108e is more for complex computer and AV networks whereas the GS108 is simpler and more for my business environment.
I think Comcast assigns me an IP Address (should be static?) but everything is coming through the D-Link DGL-4100 router, so IP configuration would not be changed by the switch. Correct?
One final note: I have 3 computers, 2 of which will be Win 7 and 1 of which will be Linux - all of which will be on the network along with the printer, the AV surveillance, and possibly the AV Amp/Tuner (internet radio, though I can connect that directly to the Comcast modem cause security is not a problem).
|My System Specs
|15 Jan 2013
The only true features i see out of the GS108E is the QoS and possibly network monitoring for your environment.
your D-link router can also do QoS its called GameFuel.
Gigabit speed with QoS, VLAN and network monitoring
Simple network set-up on top of Plug-and-Play connectivity
Detects loops and prevents broadcast storm
NETGEAR Green, power saving features
VLAN support for traffic separation
Quality of Service (QoS) prioritizes traffic
Auto "Denial-of-Service" (DoS) prevention
Network monitoring and bandwidth control
Troubleshoot connection issues via cable test
Loop detection
I only have to say if you're not going to use the features why spend the extra money?
|My System Specs
|16 Jan 2013
Thanks for all the helpful advice. After reading reviews and contacting Netgear tech support, I did decide on the GS108 that you suggested Newegg.com - NETGEAR 8 Port Gigabit Business-Class Desktop Switch - Lifetime Warranty (GS108)
Got it from Ebay for about $35.00. Not bad, eh?
|My System Specs
|16 Jan 2013
Not bad at all. Good buy the switch will do you good.

Online transaction processing (OLTP) applications remain the operational core of most businesses. When OLTP applications slow, underperform expectations, or become unreliable, a company's core business processes reflect that, immediately.
X-IO's ISE 200 and 700 series intelligent storage elements are designed to accelerate online transaction processing applications, intelligently and automatically keeping transactionally-hot data on SSD, to speed current transactions, while simultaneously providing terabytes of fast-read, fast-write storage for operational reporting. Conventional storage solutions fail to understand that operational nuances of the database management systems (DBMSs) that underpin most OLTP applications, and typically bottleneck current transaction wall-clock time, while simultaneously making it expensive, and sometimes dangerous, to retain OLTP historical data for operational reporting.
By contrast, the X-IO ISE is purpose-built to accelerate relational database management systems in OLTP environments — for both current transaction load and complex, continual operational reporting on terabytes of historical data — while also handling the I/O load of frequently extraction, transformation and loading (ETL) processes that feed operational data stores and data warehouses — all while providing the performance, robustness and reliability that OLTP environments demand, including our unique active-active volume and disk mirroring, in-situ remanufacturing of failed or marginal drives, and zero drive replacement.
What our partners say
"The X-IO system proved that we could deliver a high level of performance coupled with very fast response times – a critical factor to our customers. The test underscored how the Cisco/X-IO solution could be scaled to grow without a drop in performance levels." – Riversand co-founder and CTO speaking on behalf of an outstanding benchmark using Cisco UCS and the Hyper ISE/Riversand Goes Extreme MDM
What Our Customers Say
"I chose X-IO over the other storage options out there because of the performance/value metric I saw. The performance of their SANs were exactly what we were looking for to run our physical and virtual environments. We have many large SQL clusters, so we were looking for a solution that offered lower fiber-channel overhead and reduced latency. We found that with X-IO. On top of that, past customers have nothing but raving positives about support. Given that we are a small team, the strong support is what ultimately drew us to partner with X-IO." – Director of Technology/Almond Board of California
The ISE packs this performance and reliability into very efficient storage building blocks, which support hundreds of thousands of database operations per second, while consuming relatively little energy, and only 3 rack units (U) of physical space. This allows our customers to replace rows of conventional enterprise storage — hundreds of rack units — with one or two ISEs, reducing their space and energy consumption while improving transactional and reporting performance, and improving end-user experience.
And our benchmark results — underneath a wide range of online transaction processing applications, from retail banking to telecommunications billing to insurance claim processing — prove it. The ISE is the industry's best available open storage building block for OLTP environments that need lightning-fast transaction processing and robust operational reporting, while ensuring the operational stability and reliability of their OLTP applications.
Hundreds of our customers, using ISEs in OLTP environments underneath Oracle, Sybase, IBM and Microsoft SQLServer databases, have found the ISE to be an ideal storage building block for OLTP environments. Ask them, and they'll tell you that X-IO ISES have decreased their applications' wall-clock transaction times significantly, reduced their business process execution times (sometimes, from hours to seconds), halved their storage costs, and made their dreams of robust operational reporting on years of transactional history into high-performance realities.

What's your problem?
Searches are very slow when a file has many DIV-level objects
If your corpus consists of one or more individual documents have more than a few thousand top-level DIV objects (say 5,000), you may experience some pretty slow contextualizations from searches. This is mainly found in large dictionaries. We normally build dictionaries in smaller chunks. This is possibly a space leak in the object contextualizer, and slated to be fixed in future development. This does not appear in regular textual databases.

Please see http://philologic.uchicago.edu/wiki/index.php/Patches#Patch:_install_hangs_while_making_search_forms
After editing whizbangform, javascript errors occurr
The javascript code in whizbang.js is not very robust to changes in the form. If any elements are removed, errors maybe be encountered when the script tries to access the value of those elements. This can be addressed by changes like this to whizbang.js:
} else if (document.getElementById("OUTPUTAF").checked) {
} else if (document.getElementById("OUTPUTAF") && document.getElementById("OUTPUTAF").checked) {
This checks to make sure the element exists first before trying to get the value. So if you see javascript errors, check the line number and conditionalize as necessary.
Links to the first divs in each document appear as [NA]
In some kinds of document structures, it is useful to move to a higher object level when you are linking to object :0. In some cases, however, this results in a link that looks like [NA] and may take you to the entire document.
There are two edits to make in philosubs.pl to resolve this. First, in getKWICtitle look for:
if (@index[1] > 0) {
and change it to:
if (@index[1] > -1) {
Then in concheadline, find this line:
$x =~ s/:0$//;
and comment it out.

Gelatex is a non-vowen textile that is produced using gelatin that is made of low value waste of meat industries.
So besides skin it is possible to make leatherlike textile from bones also, enabling to get up to 3 times more material from the same animal.
Gelatex production uses only natural, non-toxic substances and makes therefore no harm to the environment, to people or animals living in the surrounding areas,
to workers producing Gelatex, nor the final consumer of the products made of Gelatex.
No toxic chemicals
Organic raw material
Made of waste
Few water and energy needed to produce
Easy to handle
Faster design and cutting of final product
15-20% less material waste compared to leather
Feels like leather
Breathable and durable
Customizable properties (texture, thickness, water resistance)
We produce material that is better than leather.
The team behind Gelatex started to work on the idea in spring 2016 with the aim of making the textile industry more sustainable. The idea of using gelatin for the production of leatherlike textile grew out of the university research.
The company Gelatex Technologies OÜ was founded in November 2016.
Märt-Erik has researched gelatin-based materials almost 3 years during his bachelor´s studies of materials science. He has also background in engineering, physics and chemistry. He takes care of research and development in Gelatex.
– Ministry of Environment (Estonia)
Between the period of 27th Feb to 31st July 2017 European Regional Development Fund helped Gelatex Technologies OÜ to develop the initial solution for collecting nanofibers that is compatible with the existing technology, and characterize the material generated with the method with a grant of € 4,000.
We will let you know when Gelatex is ready to order.

September, 1999
By Bobby Bush
We started this particular beer journey in Denver at Pint's Pub. Probably the smallest
brewpub in the Mile High City, this very-English pub was voted 1998's Best Brewpub by
the readers of Westworld, a local nightlife tabloid. Accompanied by a variety of piped-in
music- from opera to bagpipes to Beatles -our fish 'n chips lunch went down well with
Pint's Pub's six house brews. The reddish-brown ESB-style Dark Star Ale and Lancer
IPA, hoppy but not obnoxiously so, were the two cask offerings. The mild Phonebox
Amber, hoppy Airedale Pale Ale, creamy headed Alchemy ESB and Scottish Export style,
i.e. malty sweet, Gael Force Ale were entirely quaffable.
Pint's Pub also features an extensive list of imports, including several Fullers ales,
Felinfoel, Newcastle, Guinness, Boddington Pale Ale and Tennent. And, as if there wasn't
enough going on in this small bar, the single malt scotch whiskey menu features over 100
different choices, including one at $65 per shot. Pint's claims to have the largest selection
in the US.
Leaving imports and whiskeys behind, but departing with fond memories of the
smooth Dark Star, we left, in search of another Denver brewpub.
It's hard to believe that a city as profoundly versed in craft beer as Denver is- 15
brewpubs, not counting suburbs or microbreweries -would have room for one more. But
there, in the southside warehouse district not far from Breckenridge Brewery's
microbrewery/keg/bottle operation, we found a brand new brewpub. Heavenly Daze
Warehouse Brewery & Bar is a sprawling complex incorporating two dining areas, a
long bar, a 30 barrel brewing system and a 1962 vintage bottling line that perviously
packaged olive oil.
Open since June 1998, there are 14 televisions, four Ventura pro pool tables and
nine most excellent brews. But let's review a little history before the fun. Named for a ski
run that terminates at the brewpub, the original Heavenly Daze opened in 1991 in
Steamboat Springs, CO. Owned by the Crider brothers, sibling Pete is responsible for the
Denver franchise. His brewer is Rick Whitehouse, who formerly worked as brewer for
Breckenridge. Rick was pushed for time, but spent a few minutes talking about his
brewery and beers. With an annual capacity of 7,000 barrels and nine fermentation tanks,
he has plenty of capacity to be creative. The seasonal Winter Heat Strong Ale, which
revealed strong alcohol power (9% by volume) and biting sweetness, is a Belgian-style ale
boosted by 350 pounds of candi sugar in the boil. Whitehouse keeps three yeasts in
propagation, which assists in style flexibility.
Other Heavenly Daze beers proved just as enticing. Thin but flavorful, Sunrise
Rye Ale was golden clean, departing with short bitterness. Crafted from five malts, wheat
and oatmeal, Colorado Cream Ale presented a fruity body and sweet finish. The quick
berry taste of Raspberry Wheat evolved into a nasty koolaid aftertaste, while the Munich
Red left a suggestive burnt caramel flavor. The six malt recipe of Dogs Breath Brown
was balanced by proper hopping. Steamboat Scottish was out-of-balance, decidedly too
malty and marginally medicinal. Back on track, Paramount Porter was medium- medium
body, medium roast flavor, mildly bitter with a tinge of harshness mid-taste. Though
dry-hopped, Backpacker IPA could have used more bittering and hops flavor. All-in-all,
good beer, definitely something for everyone.
Only time will tell if Heavenly Daze can make it on the low-traffic south side of
Denver. My fingers are crossed.
[Note, both Heavenly Daze closed in late 1999. The Denver brewpub re-opened in mid-2000 with new owners].
We had time for one more quick stop before heading to higher elevations. Just
because we hadn't been there in a while, downtown's Rock Bottom Brewery was our
destination. Open since November 1991, this Rock Bottom was the Boulder-based
chain's first out of town brewpub venture. Back about 1994, I noticed a de-emphasis in
beer and deterioration of beer quality. I'm happy to report that brewmaster Debbie
Svoboda seems to have a better grip on the brewing side. Her cask Pale, though colder
than it should have been, was cloudy gold and brimming with pale ale taste. In
comparison, the Falcon Pale Ale was thinner and less hoppy, just what was expected.
Black Diamond Stout was also a winner; rich, full bodied and roasted flavor, close to
Imperial style and close to perfection.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- It has been a positive week for global markets. Although the eurozone crisis has yet to be averted, news of BP (BP) setting aside $20 billion in an escrow account cheered the markets and offset disappointing housing and jobless claims data.During the past week, the S&P 500 gained 2.7% while the Dow Jones Industrial Average increased 2.6%. The Shanghai Composite Index rose 1.3%, India's Nifty index was up 3.4% and Brazil's Bovespa gained 2.4%. A host of emerging market American depositary receipts outperformed the markets, both domestic and foreign. Major gainers include VisionChina Media ( VISN), which rose 21.3%. The company is engaged in operating out-of-home advertising networks using real-time mobile digital television broadcasts.Last week, JPMorgan assigned a neutral rating to the stock with price target of $4.10, implying a 31% upside over current levels. Among the solar pack, Canadian Solar ( CSIQ) was up 20.5%, JA Solar ( JASO) gained 14.8% and China Sunergy ( CSUN) increased 13.8%. We're bullish on this space with a long-term view as we reckon that solar energy is the future of power generation. China Sunergy last week announced that it anticipates full-year 2010 gross margins of between 15% and 18%. Moreover, it expects to have 400 MW of solar cell capacity and 900 MW of solar module capacity by the end of 2010. Another outperformer from China was Zhongpin ( HOGS) which gained 16.4%. We had recommended this stock in our report last week . The stock has gained 19% since then. Turning to India, another emerging market, Mahanagar Telephone Nigam ( MTE) gained 18.7% during the past one week. The stock has been rising in anticipation that the Indian government will refund the money (approximately $2 billon) paid by state-run telecom companies towards 3G spectrum and broadband wireless access allocation. Yhe IT pack stood out with iGate ( IGTE) gaining 10.4%, Wipro ( WIT) appreciating 7.5%, and Infosys Technologies ( INFY) increasing 7.3%.

Emmy winner Bernie West dies at 92
Worked on 'All in the Family,' 'Jeffersons,' 'Three's Company'
By Mike Barnes
Aug 2, 2010, 02:39 PM ET
Bernie West, an Emmy-winning screenwriter and producer who worked on the
classic sitcoms "All in the Family," "The Jeffersons" and "Three's
Company," died July 29 at his Beverly Hills home of complications from
Alzheimer's disease. He was 92.
West won his Emmy in 1973 for writing, with Mickey Ross, the "Bunkers
and the Swingers" episode on "All in the Family." He received two other
noms as a producer for his work on "All in the Family" and "Three's
In 1971, he and Ross submitted a script for "All in the Family" to
Norman Lear and began what Bernie referred to as his first steady job.
They worked on the CBS sitcom from 1971-74, where they were writers,
script consultants, story editors and eventually, with Don Nicholl,
West and Ross created the character of Maude, played by Bea Arthur, on a
1972 episode of "All in the Family" that spun into another long-running
CBS series. And he and his partners worked on the 1974 pilot script of
NBC's "Chico and the Man."
Nicholl, Ross and West later wrote and produced for "The Jeffersons,"
which ran for 10 years, and then "Three's Company." Other series
included "The Dumplings" and two spinoffs of "Three's Company," "The
Ropers" and "Three's a Crowd."
Born Bernard Wessler in the Bronx, he and Martin Rosenblatt, later known
as Ross Martin of "Wild Wild West" fame, formed the stand-up team of
Ross & West. When Martin left to get married, West worked with his
friend, Isadore Rovinsky, who changed his name to Mickey Ross so that
the act could continue as Ross & West.
Ross & West worked nightclubs and vaudeville. "Everything we did may not
have been original," West once said, "but what we stole was good!"
A popular entertainer in the "Borscht Belt" of upstate New York, he
spent many summers performing in the Catskills, at Green Mansions in the
Adirondacks and at Tamiment in the Poconos. Among his early acting
credits were appearances on "The Garry Moore Show," "Dixon of Dock
Green," "The Arthur Murray Show," "The Jack Paar Show," "The Ed Sullivan
Show," "The Phil Silvers Show," "Car 54, Where Are You?" and Gomer Pyle,
West also created the role of Dr. Kitchell, the song-writing dentist, on
Broadway in "Bells Are Ringing" starring Judy Holliday, which opened in
1956. He went on to recreate the role in the 1960 film, which also
starred Holliday as well as Dean Martin.
Other Broadway appearances included "All American" with Ray Bolger,
"Poor Bitos" with Donald Pleasance, "The Beauty Part" with Bert Lahr and
the 1969 revival of "The Front Page" with Helen Hayes.
West and his wife, Mimi, who died in 2004, supported numerous cultural,
political, arts and community service organizations, including the Los
Angeles Free Clinic (now known as the Saban Free Clinic) and Baruch
College, where they endowed the Bernie West Theater (referred to by
current students as "The Bernie").
West is survived by his daughters, Ellen Harris and Isabel Davis;
son-in-law Robert Davis; and grandsons Michael and David Harris.
WEST, Bernie (Bernard Wessler)
Born: 5/30/1918, Bronx, New York, U.S.A.
Died: 7/29/2010, Beverly Hills, California, U.S.A.

The canister thrown into the cabin occupied by Countryman's and Cenine Gilmore was a modified flash-bang grenade. Rather than loudly exploding, the device went off with the sound of a can of spoiled corn imploding, though it emitted an intense burst of white light that permeated the bedroom.
"Dieter!" the younger woman shouted, instantly blinded and groping for physical or psychological mooring. "Dieter, where are you?" she went on, but her lover didn't answer. He wasn't going to give his position away.
Countryman had anticipated something like this and had averted his eyes as soon as he'd yelled a warning. The homemade grenade had shattered the glass and framing of the double-hung window. In those milliseconds of its bursting through and the arc it took to the floor, he'd calculated from its size and configuration that it wasn't an explosive device meant to sever tendons and arteries by dispersing shrapnel. That, and he knew Riggs liked his wet work up close and personal. Just like he did.
A silenced round of automatic fire perforated the west wall of the cabin.
"Oh shit, shit!" Cenine Gilmore exclaimed, hearing the gunfire that sounded like wasps buzzing about her. In her panic she knocked over the nightstand with the bottle of Jameson's Countryman had been sampling. She blinked rapidly, and her red eyes were teary and puffy as she crawled across the floor through spilled whiskey. "Goddammit, Dieter, you better be lying around her bleeding or knocked out," she yelled. "That's the only reason I'll accept for you not helping me, you big chump!"
Countryman allowed himself a ghost of an appreciative smile as he moved through the darkened hallway in his Woody Woodpecker boxers. Cenine might have momentarily been off her stride, but now, even when she might be about to get her brains blown out, she was talking smack as always. The flash was fading, but it wasn't like Riggs was going to come though the bedroom. The grenade and the lay-down gunfire were distractions.
Countryman was stooped low, his Sig-Sauer P226 an extension of his hand. Coming into the front room he paused, drawing in on himself as he sorted through the night sounds, seeking any impression of another presence. A solitary pearl of sweat made its way from the middle of his brow down the bridge of his nose as he slowed his breathing to a rhythm that would make a yogi proud.
Wait. Wait for it… then, momentarily, there was a disturbance of the air several feet to his right and he flung himself flat on the rug as more silenced rounds tore through the cabin. But these were coming from inside, he concluded, as he fired off several of his own and went prone. Riggs was crouched behind the couch and sprang up to fire at Countryman, then went flat as Countryman's 9mm Parabellum bullets sliced through the upholstery. Riggs twisted his body, as he was now sticking out from cover, and pumped off shots again from his Ingram with its suppressor attached.

Mark Selby has won the inaugural 888.com 'Silver Chip' award for his outstanding achievement in reaching the Crucible semi-finals.
The award was voted for by the Snooker Writers Association and will be an annual occurence at the World Championship.
Selby is much improved in recent years, despite his curious cueing style in which he rocks from side to side, like a marksman taking aim, before striking the cue ball.
But it works for him and I wish him all the best this weekend.

Congratulations to Selby! Last night's semi between Murphy and Selby was fantastic. One of the best matches I've seen at the Crucible. I'm pretty neutral for the final and wish them both well. Just hoping for a good match.

The Martha Stewart Show, July 2007
To save a little time at a party, prepare perfect scoops of ice cream for your guests ahead of time. Cover a cookie sheet in plastic wrap for insulation, and then begin scooping. To get smoother spheres, dip the scoop in cool water as you go. These single-dip servings will hold their shape in the freezer until you're ready to transfer them to bowls.

Can you squeeze some extra money out os seniors by doing all these manipulations to the CPI? You might be able to. But why don't we get an economy that grows so that not everybody is so squeezed. You know we're growing less than one percent on average for the last for years, the last quarter we actually were shrinking. The jobs report of last week was abysmal. So really what we need is a Reagan-esque type of recovery and we're not getting it."

OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) --The police sex scandal is a big setback to the many advocacy groups working in Oakland to help victims of sex trafficking.
As many can imaging it's really difficult for those who work with exploited sex trafficking victims out in the streets in Oakland.
So, who do you tell them to trust, if they don't trust the police? "It really does rock the trust and confidence a victim would have in the system and we are working very hard to make sure that we isolate those that have engaged in bad behavior and keep kids and other people safe," Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O'Malley said.
O'Malley spoke out for the first time since last week when the sex scandal at Oakland Police Department blew up over damning allegations of contact with an underage prostitute. The officers may face charges. "Statutory rape from when she was a minor, one of them is engaging in commercial sex and paying for it, one of them is color of authority," she said.
The ongoing investigation is negatively affecting outreach to sex trafficking victims in Oakland and beyond.
When asked can victims on the street trust the police following the scandal, sex trafficking survivor Venus Morris said, "No, there's no way we can trust the police because that means I can't come to you in confidence and know that I'm safe."
"We know we can't go to law enforcement because they're also going to exploit us and be inappropriate with us and it's almost like sitting in that danger that we're already in is the safest place to be," Shade Project spokesperson Sarai Smith said.
When asked has the Oakland Police Department scandal undermine efforts to help sex trafficking victims, Smith said: "Definitely. We have to be really careful when we sit there and say if you need help law enforcement will help you."
Now, advocacy groups are re-doubling their efforts to reach out to teens trapped in prostitution in Oakland and around the Bay Area.

The Fed remains active, raising interest rates again in March following the December hike. As investors look to align the Fed's rather dovish comments with a humming economy, it appears that, provided the Fed follows its expected path of three total interest rate hikes in 2017, investors are willing to accept higher rates. Equity market investors have experienced low volatility thus far in 2017, although market leadership has shifted somewhat. This shift perhaps reflects an acknowledgment that a foundation of strengthening global economic conditions deserves greater attention than U.S. fiscal stimulus.Read Post

Building Trust in a Digital World
by Indaba
In today's online marketplace, customers have a choice (an easy click away) where they spend their e-dollars. Overwhelmingly, the reason they choose one company over another is trust. They trust your brand, they trust your staff, they trust other customers who shop with you, and they trust your business will take care of their needs.
So how do you establish trust in a digital world where everyone is concerned about privacy and you have no opportunity to make a face-to-face impression? At Indaba, we've learned it all starts with your website. The following are some tried and true methods to build and maintain trust on your site, based on our experience and research in the field.
It is best to be as upfront as possible on your site. This means providing a lot of company wide information. It is important to have a robust About Us page which speaks to your company's mission and business philosophy. Highlight your employees and the expertise they bring to the table. If you participate in any charitable events or organizations, mention why those are important to your business.
Leverage any annual reports, videos, articles, whitepapers or other industry publications you contribute to on your site. These show expertise in the field, and provide potential customers with a sense of ease knowing they are in capable hands.
Contact information should be easy to find, and live chat and highly visible phone numbers let customers know you are easily accessible should any questions arise.
In e-commerce, it is important to be transparent with fees and returns. In an Online Retail Usability Survey conducted by econsultancy, almost 90% of respondents said they always or sometimes check a retailer's return policy before making a purchase, and 53% said return policy information on a product detail page helps them decide on whether or not to purchase a product.
With fees, it is best to be upfront and to never tack on hidden fees or charges during checkout. Consumers want to know what their total costs will be before reaching the checkout page. Integrating with shipping and tax solutions can help provide customers with the best possible total estimate before they buy.
When expectations for payment and returns are met, shoppers come away with the sense that you will follow through on your commitments and provide them with straightforward, reliable products and services.
Solid design goes a long way towards communicating a sense of professionalism and competency with your business. A site with off-kilter graphics, too many stock photos, random fonts, strange spacing, misspellings, popups or other distracting features detract from the experience, and can cause a customer to question other aspects of the business. If a site is not designed along modern trends, consumers may begin to wonder what else is out of date. Mobile experience is also key, and all design features need to translate well in both form and functionality.
Your store should be PCI compliant with the corresponding Trust Seals and SSL badges displayed in appropriate areas. Customers need to know their data is secure and that your store is taking the necessary steps to protect sensitive information. As a shopper progresses from product research to selection to cart to checkout, be sure to provide them with the assurance their data is encrypted and protected along the way.
People are more likely to purchase items their friends recommend, and unbiased reviews are the next best thing. According to a study by BrightLocal, 88% of consumers say they trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations.2 Including reviews and other User Generated Content (UGC) shows potential customers real people are buying and using your products (as a side benefit, it also helps with organic SEO).
When possible, allow reviews to come in unaltered unless the language violates terms of service etc. A few bad reviews show reviewers are real and customers understand not everyone will be 100% satisfied. Too many bad reviews, however, will cause customers to take pause – and will provide some good feedback for your business.
A recent study by one of our strategic partners YotPo highlights the power of UGC. In this study, they looked at data from over 200,000 e-commerce stores across industries. They found 32% of users viewed UGC (this includes reviews, instagram photos, Q&A content) when visiting a store. The average conversion rate for all users was 3.28%. For those who viewed UGC it was 5.65% – a 161% increase in conversions!3
Social proof extends beyond reviews and content on your site to your other social media channels. The multi-channel experience should be well co-ordinated and consistent, but also play off the strengths of each platform (instagram/pinterest can be more playful or themed, LinkedIn articles highlight business acumen etc).
The social arena allows your business to showcase itself in different ways, and can go a long way to humanize your company and build rapport with your customers. It also gives you a direct communication line to your customers. Timely responses to feedback and questions show you value the people who buy your products.
As more and more people, companies and clients move to purchasing products online, it is increasingly important to elevate your business above the competition. Building trust through transparency, design, and social proof can differentiate your business from others in the same space. As customer's expectations are met and exceeded, they become loyal to your brand, preferring to do business with someone they know and trust.

Douglas Elliman's Michael Lorber, ex-star of "Million Dollar Listing New York" and son of Elliman chair Howard Lorber — who is selling his own Southampton manse on Halsey Neck Lane for $18.5 million — has sold his Midtown East condo at the Grand Beekman, which was asking $2.5 million. He was the listing broker, along with Vincent Santoro and Alissa Rosemarin.
Lorber paid $1.725 million for the 1,861-square-foot three-bedroom, which has a formal dining room, study and eat-in chef's kitchen in 2004.
Museum worthy
An art-infused, three-bedroom, two-bathroom, 1,700-square-foot co-op at 17 E. 97th St. that belongs to Flora Miller Biddle, the president of the Whitney Museum of American Art from 1977 to 1985, is now for sale for $2.15 million. Biddle is the granddaughter of Whitney Museum founder Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney and the author of "The Whitney Women and the Museum They Made," which tells the story of the museum from its beginning to the end of her tenure as president.
The listing broker is the Corcoran Group's Marjory Berkowitz.

Open Thread: Talk About Clothes, Style, Fashion — Whatever the Heck You Like to Call It
Your place to come talk about clothes whenever you feel like it.
Anytime we discuss trends, there's an inevitable amount of eye rolling accompanied by the sighs of, "Really? We're back to this?" Even the worst of trends are bound to rear their ugly, bedazzled heads again from time to time. The 90s resurgence is keen proof of this but I've given into nearly all of it because my main goal in this life is to be as cool as the girls who babysat me as a kid. (Gimme all the faux-tattoo chokers and tiny backpacks, please)
The Bardot top is yet another reiteration of an oft-occuring trend -- the off the shoulder top. This neckline was major in the 50s and 60s. I clearly envision black, white and red versions of this top paired with poodle skirts or Hepburn-esque cigarette pants. In the 60s and 70s, hippie style gave this trend a less fitted look and many a peasant top was made with an off-the-shoulder neckline. Babies of the 80s had some strange inclination to cut and slash all their tops so that they could proudly display their bra straps and clavicles with wild, new-wave abandon.
These days, the trend is revived with a nod back to its beginnings in a Bye Bye Birdie heyday, but with slightly modern touches. Off-the-shoulder tops, dresses and bodysuits can be found in nearly every color and pattern, and I cannot get enough of them. I'm still on a self-imposed shopping ban, but I want to buy ALL THE BARDOT TOPS. Please encourage me.
These tops are mega-flattering, but more than that, they actually encourage me to keep my shoulders back way more than my mom's nagging ever did. Shoulders and necks are VERY sexy. Just think about getting kissed all over your neck and shoulders while listening to "The Big Chill" soundtrack.
My shoulders and collarbone are some of my favorite body parts. I used to have terrible posture, which left my shoulders looking rounded. In the past couple of years, I've started doing yoga almost daily and it's totally changed the shape of my body thanks to my newly improved posture. So, okay, I guess I should have listened to my mom from the start. (Don't tell her I said that.) Anyway, these tops perfectly frame my shoulders and collarbone and neck, which I love. Stand up straight, y'all!
You can rep this neckline in so many ways. It can be formal or casual, sexy or demure.
Obviously, some of my favorite versions are cropped tops. Peep these sweet, sexy crop tops.
Clockwise from top left: Miss Guided Sirinda White Bardot Frill Crop Top, $23.38; TopShop Rib Stripe Bardot Top, $12; ASOS Bardot Crop Top, $15.24; Free People Trumpet Cami, $78; ASOS Bardot Bandage Crop Top, $53.35; TopShop Crinkle Bardot Bandeau Top, $22
I'm especially obsessed with that lace top from Free People. I wanna pair it with a pale pink full skirt and some pointy toe flats for a night at the ballet. Paired with high-waisted shorts or a skirt, these tops are super cute for day or night.
Speaking of tops, I love the way this neckline looks when it's part of a two-piece ensemble. This outfit from Reformation needs to find its way to my closet ASAP. It's black and white striped, which is my constant. Also, it shows off my shoulders and belly which are my favorite body parts while hiding my upper arms and thighs, which are my least favorite body parts! Come to me, magic outfit!
This neckline looks especially amazing on dresses, whether they're flared, A-line or body-con. These dresses can be dressed up or down as much as you want. Let's look at some adorable off-the-shoulder dresses, shall we?
Clockwise from top left: ModCloth Ready to Be Adorned Dress, $75; Revolve Ethereal Bardot Mini Dress, $209; Pixie Market Pineapple Cactus Off Shoulder Dress, $102; ASOS Curve Skater Dress with Bardot Neckline, $48; ASOS Floral Bardot Full Midi Prom Dress, $181; ASOS Petite Mini Bardot Dress in Bow Print, $20
First of all, I need someone in my life to buy that pineapple/cactus dress. It isn't exactly my style, but I can acknowledge how amazing it is in a quirky art teacher sort of way. Also, that floral midi-dress just got bumped to the top of my wish list. Come to me, floral dress, I will love you and wear you every day.
You can also take this trend to total Grace Kelly/prom queen levels of formal with a dress like this, which I will buy in the nude, pale pink shade and pair with an updo for my next black tie charity event. (Full disclosure: I've never been invited to a black tie anything, but I feel like it will happen once I own this dress.)
ASOS Satin Bardot Mini Prom, $181
If you're more into loose-fitting apparel, you can still work this trend. Here's some breezier, hippie dippie vibes for you.
Clockwise from top left: Pixie Market Nina Crochet Off Shoulder Dress, $72; Painted Threads Print Off Shoulder Top, $38; Free People Hopelessly Bardot Top, $198; Flynn Syke Bardot Floral Maxi Dress, $184; Free People Embroidered Cotton Slip Dress, $98; This Love Organza Dress, $59
Do you ever find a thing that you know you would NEVER wear but you also know you NEED to own it? That's how I feel about this dress from Kate Moss's most recent line for TopShop, which I've been drooling over for months. It's very Carrie Bradshaw and I would never ever deem any event worthy of it and I cannot afford it but OH MAN, I want it. Hey, if you just realized you forgot my birthday, here's a not-so-subtle hint about how you can make it up to me. I'm a size 6. Thanks.
Kate Moss for TopShop Feather Off Shoulder Cocktail Dress, $260
Are y'all as into this trend as I am? Will you join me in the naked shoulder revolution? How else can I convince you to stand up straight? Do you wish this trend wasn't associated with Brigitte Bardot because she sort of became a racist? Yeah...

Captain America #6
- Story by
- Ed Brubaker
- Art by
- Alan Davis and Mark Farmer
- Colors by
- Laura Martin
- Letters by
- Joe Caramagna
- Cover by
- Alan Davis
- Publisher
- Marvel Comics
2011 is almost over and, to celebrate, Marvel has lined up its shipping schedule to provide a triple dose of Captain America comics this week. It's both an ending and a beginning with "Captain America" #5 concluding the opening story arc of the relaunched title before issue six can pick up where it left off and start a new story. That the beginning of the new story ships on the same day as the end of the previous one makes for a smooth transition and could blur the line between the two, except Ed Brubaker and Alan Davis make such a strong impression in this issue that it stands clearly on its own.
Not only are the ideological questions raised about the state of contemporary America weighing heavily on Steve Rogers in the opening of "Powerless," so too is the experience of losing his powers at the hands of Codename: Bravo. Nightmares of reverting to his regular human self haunt Rogers, doubling his feelings of uncertainty. After being in such a strong position following his return from 'the dead' leading into "The Heroic Age," Rogers finding himself at a low point now that he's Captain America again is a surprising and intriguing move by Ed Brubaker.
When Rogers looks to the Avengers for support and possible answers regarding any chance of him losing his Super Soldier powers, Clint Barton provides a rather simple solution to Rogers's lack of confidence: some good ol' fashioned patrolling of New York. It's the sort of thing that seems to work and has Rogers forgetting his problems until a riot breaks out and he comes face-to-face with a new Serpent Squad.
The riot scene recalls the first issue of "Fear Itself," but plays out differently with there being no underlying motive beyond simple mind control/emotion influencing. In that regard, the scene falls a little flat. Since the rebuilt Hydra is attacking Rogers partly through his sense of patriotism, a riot engineered through technology undercuts that approach. At least in "Fear Itself" #1, the riot was caused by genuine outrage by citizens; here, it's just another supervillain plot that dissipates once the machine is shut down.
Alan Davis joins the title this issue and immediately makes his mark with the new Queen Hydra. Brubaker writes her with bombast and a lot of ego, and Davis' tendency to have characters ham it up a little is a perfect match. So is Cap and Hawkeye having a night out on the town, busting up some low-level crooks. Davis is so good at 'classic' superhero action. He gets the attitudes of the characters just right. When one of the crooks has some advanced tech, he absolutely nails a panel of Rogers looking serious and concerned, while Barton smirks, eager to track down the source of the tech.
"Captain America" #6 manages to follow up on the previous story and begin a new one in an entertaining and lively manner. The questions about the state of America take the back burner to Rogers's concerns over his powers and Brubaker smartly calls back to the "Steve Rogers: Super-Soldier" mini-series he last year to add on the tension. There's a strong sense of direction in this issue and Alan Davis joining the book on art is gravy.

Bank of England has no veto on Help to Buy, says governor
The governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, has confirmed that the Bank does not have a veto over the government's Help to Buy scheme.
Earlier this year two government ministers suggested the Bank could decide to stop the scheme, should it wish to do so.
But in a letter to the chairman of the Treasury Committee, Mr Carney said the Bank's role is purely advisory.
He said it would be for the government to decide whether to end the scheme.
But he also warned that the Bank could make recommendations about it at any time.
"The Financial Policy Committee (FPC) is not constrained by the government's timetable for any such advice; it could make recommendations at any time," he wrote.
Help to Buy has already proved controversial, with some economists saying it has boosted house prices too quickly.
The second part of the scheme, under which the government guarantees mortgage repayments, began in October.
The chairman of The Treasury Committee, Andrew Tyrie, said the governor's letter was a step forward.
"The Bank of England has no power of veto over Help to Buy," he said.
"Responsibility for it lies with the government," he added.
The FPC has already been asked to assess the impact of Help to Buy each year.
Starting in September 2014, it will decide what effect the scheme has had on overall financial stability.
At the same time it will advise on whether the current price cap (£600,000), and the charges to lenders, are still suitable.
When the scheme ends in 2017, the FPC will also comment on any possible extension.
Later on Thursday, the FPC will publish its bi-annual report on financial stability, in which it will set out "the risks posed by recent and prospective developments" in the housing market.

Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars
These rich and fudgy bars taste just like a pecan pie, but in a portable bar form. If your house is anything like mine during the holidays there are two desserts that are always guaranteed to show up-pumpkin pie and pecan pie. The only thing that could make a pecan pie better is adding chocolate! That is exactly what I did with these pecan pie bars.
Toasted pecans, chocolate chips, bourbon, and brown sugar combine to create a quick, easy and delicious dessert. The bourbon accents the pecan bars flavor, so feel free to add more if you want a more boozy taste. If you do not want to use bourbon in the filling, substitute it with 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.
Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars
Yield: 24 bars
For the Crust:
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup toasted pecans, chopped coarse
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch pieces
For the Pecan Filling:
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup light corn syrup
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (½ stick), melted
1 tablespoon bourbon
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 cups toasted pecans, chopped coarse
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread the pecans (2 1/4 cups) onto a baking sheet and place in preheated oven 6-8 minutes until fragrant. Shake the baking sheet halfway through baking so the nuts will toast evenly. Remove nuts from oven and set aside to cool completely.
For the crust: Spray 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Put a long piece of parchment paper in the bottom of the pan pushing it into corners and letting the parchment extend up the two short sides of the pan and overhang slightly on both ends. Fit second sheet of parchment paper in pan in same manner, perpendicular to first sheet. Spray sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
Place flour, brown sugar, pecans, salt, and baking powder in food processor. Process mixture until it resembles coarse cornmeal, about five 1-second pulses. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles sand, about eight 1-second pulses. Pat mixture evenly into prepared pan and bake until crust is light brown and springs back when touched, about 20 minutes.
For the pecan filling: Combine 2 cups of pecans and chocolate chips in a small bowl; set aside.
While crust bakes, whisk together brown sugar, melted butter, corn syrup, bourbon, vanilla, and salt in a medium bowl until just combined. Add egg and whisk until incorporated.
Pour filling on top of hot crust and sprinkle the pecans and chocolate chips evenly over top. Bake until top is brown and cracks start to form across surface, 22 to 25 minutes. Cool on wire rack for 1 hour. Remove bars from pan using parchment handles and transfer to cutting board. Cut into bars that measure 1½ inches by 2¼ inches.

Sounds and looks yummy. Thank you for sharing I printed this up so i can try it maybe the Christmas Holiday!
As much as I love a good chocolate-pecan pie, sometimes a piece is just too big for me and I'll pass on it. Making bars instead of pie, however, would be perfect. What a great idea!
I was already on board and then I saw bourbon!
Oh yummy! I have also never made pecan pie. Actually I don't know if I have ever had pecan pie in any form. But I bet it's great!
These look so good! Chocolate, portable pecan pie?! You are a woman after my heart.
DREAMY!! Pecan Pie is a favourite, but sometimes it can get really messy and gooey – – what a great solution and the addition of chocolate .. we have a winner 🙂
Reblogged this on alisueonthemove and commented:
This is 100% what I will be making tonight if not tomorrow when i get home from work!!! My last cookie try was okay but I need something more Thanksgiving this week. We aren't going to do anything for Thanksgiving but a little reminder wouldn't hurt 🙂
Mmmmmm! What perfect timing for you to post this recipe – they'd be the perfect Thanksgiving dessert! 🙂
I look forward to making this for sure!
These look SOOO good I almost want to lick the screen.
These are quite astonishing! What a great treat with a cup of tea or coffee!
S i g h!!! I love your blog 🙂 🙂
Oh my! Those look divine!

New report shows visitor spending supports 4,885 jobs in New York
A new National Park Service report shows 12,627,820 visitors to national parks in New York state spent $446.4 million and supported 4,885jobs in the state in 2012.
"The national parks of New York state attract visitors from across the country and around the world," said Mike Caldwell, NPS northeast regional director. "Whether they are out for an afternoon, a school field trip, or a family vacation, visitors come to have a great experience, and end up spending a little money along the way. This new report shows that national park tourism is a significant driver in the national economy - returning $10 for every $1 invested in the National Park Service - and a big factor in our state's economy as well - a result we can all support."
The national parks in New York state include: African Burial Ground National Monument, Castle Clinton National Monument, Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site, Castle Clinton National Monument, Federal Hall National Memorial, Fire Island National Seashore, Fort Stanwix National Monument, Gateway National Recreation Area, General Grant National Memorial, Governors Island National Monument, Hamilton Grange National Memorial, Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site, Martin Van Buren National Historic Site, Sagamore Hill National Historic Site, Saint Paul's Church National Historic Site, Saratoga National Historical Park, Statue of Liberty National Monument, Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace National Historic Site, Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site, Upper Delaware Scenic And Recreational River, Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site, and Women's Rights National Historical Park.
The peer-reviewed visitor spending analysis was conducted by U.S. Geological Survey economists Catherine Cullinane Thomas and Christopher Huber and Lynne Koontz for the National Park Service. The report shows $14.7 billion of direct spending by 283 million park visitors in communities within 60 miles of a national park. This spending supported 243,000 jobs nationally, with 201,000 jobs found in these gateway communities, and had a cumulative benefit to the U.S. economy of $26.75 billion.
According to the report, most visitor spending supports jobs in restaurants, grocery and convenience stores (39 percent), hotels, motels and B&Bs (27 percent), and other amusement and recreation (20 percent).
To download the report, visit http://www.nature.nps.gov/socialscience/economics.cfm.
The report includes information for visitor spending by park and by state.

Infinite quantitative easing (QE3) now initiated; the final chapter of America's financial blowout has begun
Steal from the poor to give to the rich
Quantitative easing, you see, is essentially the Federal Reserve creating money and then handing it to the richest banks. Meanwhile, all that new money floating around erodes the value of the dollars in the hands of the working taxpayers. So their grocery bills go up. Their fuel costs go up. Their daycare costs increase and their utility bills creep ever skyward.
But the rich banksters are simultaneously rolling in FREE Fed cash, and instead of actually lending this money out and doing something useful with it, they crank up their own executive bonuses to make sure they get paid while the rest of the economy crumbles. And why? It's simple: Because people are crooks, and if they get handed $40 billion a month in free money, they're just going to grin and say, "How can we get MORE?"
That's the credo of the banks: MORE!
that's just a snippet from it but i think it really hits home with how the author lays it out in easy to understand laymen's terms.

First, the biggest thank you to those who have participated in this One Year & Beyond Link-up. Whether you posted or simply left feedback on the topics shared so far, I have found the support between so many inspiring ladies very rewarding. As mamas, I definitely think it is important to relate to each other (the good, the bad, & the ugly), & as always, this community does that so incredibly well. Waverly Maye & I are lucky to be a part of it. :)
So that really brings me to my thoughts on advice & how to deal with it. I definitely agree that the minute you get pregnant, there are 1.2 million people (some just walking by you in Target), that have an opinion on just about everything that has to do with motherhood. It can seriously be frustrating, I'm thinking the worst being the horror labor stories you get when your belly is so big the baby could fall out at any moment.
Yet honestly, in most cases, I welcome advice with open arms. More every day, I realize that being a mom is a constant learning experience. What works for us one day may not work then next, & more often than not, I overcome one challenge to discover another. It takes a serious open mind & truly, being able to admit when you could do better or that you need help. I love getting feedback from other mamas, hearing what works for them or if nothing else, that they went through something similar. Because letsbehonest, you can feel pretty damn alone when your baby has been crying in the middle of the night for a few hours straight (if that had ever happened to anyone else, there would never be parents with more than one child, right?!).
If you read any of my posts last week, you know we had a rough one. Seriously, Waverly Maye gave me a total run for my money. So much so, I was that mom at the park Friday afternoon (4pm) with a beer in hand. Fast forward to this week, she has never been sweeter. Believe me, I was totally prepared after reading three discipline books & locating a new spot for time-out. Yet so far, she has been a rock-star toddler & I'm convinced is laughing about how hard she had me working a few days ago. :)
For those who want to join in on the fun of this series, see this post for information & future topics! We hope you are all having a lovely short week!! I'm thinking we should roll with this 4-day week from now on, it really works for us!
