Back in 2003, a British comedian wrote a book called Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure. It's a story of his search to find queries with two words together, that returns exactly one hit on Google's search results. An interesting discovery on how, with time, the odds on finding a 'Googlewhack' reduces as Google's search index grows.
Google have recently revealed that 15% of its daily search results (a mind-blowing 500 million queries) do not match any results in their huge index of results. For the search giant this is a dilemma - on one hand, these queries help them build their search index results, meaning that other similar searches will produce faster, more accurate results and thus resulting in the reduced likelihood of finding a Googlewhack. But these large volume searches increase Google's processing power required to trawl through billions of indexed pages, and in turn increases costs.
But today's internet users are used to their search engines giving them the right answers, when and where they want it and Google's algorithms will ensure that is exactly what consumers get.
The battle between search and smart phone apps is however the latest technology conflict. Consumers have proved time and time again, that they set the rules when it comes to tomorrow's online trends. The daily growth of smart phone users, who want to access the internet from the palms of their hands means consumers have changed their searching habits. Apps give us direct access to many of our favorite and most well-used websites, and thus, by-passing the need to use a search engine completely.
This of course means that the days of having an expensive keyword-rich domain name will be brought under question, as we have always been told by the search giant that relevant content, rather than the domain name is now the key.
I doubt we will ever see a day when Google will not be able to find a result to any search query, whether it comes from a savvy smart phone user or from someone in an internet cafe on a dial up connection in the most remote and hostile environment. But this should not stop companies ensuring that their domain name portfolio is relevant, up to date and reflects their business objectives. A small investment now, in the most relevant domain names will mean that Googlewhacking will become a thing of the past.

Back in September 2007 I wrote article 966, "CPanel Alternatives Both Free and Non-Free" which I updated for 2011 when I wrote "CPanel Alternatives Both Free and Non-Free (Updated, Expanded and Revised)". Both of these editions listing CPanel Alternatives contained open source packages that were dead or dormant as honorable mentions. Since then more have slipped into silence.
If you are looking for a project that might suit you then you might want to consider investing some development time in one of these projects. Most of these seem to have been written using PHP.
web://cp (the honourable mention)
web://cp was where it all seems to have started for much of the open source world. web://cp was written in php and the aim of it's single developer was to make a good quality control panel. The original site is not available but as web://cp was an Open Source solution it was forked a fair bit.
Even back in 2007 this was a project as dead as a doornail. While all hope of reviving this grandfather project might be gone some of it's offspring might be worth a look.
- No Homepage
- No known Download
- Not in active development
- Last release: 2005
- How to get involved: Join web-cp (see below)
web-cp is or was an Open Source solution taking up where web://cp stopped as a direct continuation. Like the web://cp this is written in php and so should put little additional stress on a server. Unlike CPanel web-cp.net operates a four layer model allowing resellers and a more granular user system with a Control Panel per user for email access, a Control Panel for domain control, a Control Panel for resellers and a server Control Panel. Although "nightly builds" from CVS take place it seems to be an inactive project.
You may wish to move web-cp towards cloud control as well with an additional Control Panel for could deployment or (in a server farm situation) the provisioning and deployment of fresh servers.

My grandmother Minnie Cora Roberson Magouirk, born in 1902, lived to be 99 years of age. When she was 98, she decided to tell some stories. I was lucky enough to be sitting beside her with a cassette tape recorder when she began to talk. Those 17 hours of recordings may have been amateur and scratchy, but today, they are priceless to me. It was important to her, as you'll hear, that I learn about killing chickens so that she could prepare what came to be one of our family's favorite – fried chicken – in her day, fried in lard – hog fat as my grandmother stated emphatically. We skipped the lard, but we did use the heavy cast iron skillet she describes here.
On Sundays, mom and dad would be up in the spring
seat of the wagon and we'd go to church and Sunday School. Then, we'd go home and mom would have a big dinner. Man, she'd have a big banquet dinner. Chicken, friend chicken and gravy and maybe corn on the cob, vegetables out of the garden. Grandpa Carl, your grandpa, would come over every Sunday and he'd eat dinner and then we'd eat again in the evening. He said that's the reason he married me was because my mother was such a good cook and he figured I would be a good cook. He got fooled!
Sundays we'd have good old fried chicken. She usually fried her chicken on Saturday and she warmed it because they didn't believe in doing anything more than you had to do – just what had to be done. And, she had some kind of a cobbler. It might be blackberry, dewberry, peach cobbler or apple pie, you know, for dessert. And maybe sometimes homemade ice cream. Mashed potatoes and gravy. She rolled her chicken in salt and pepper and rolled it in flour and fried it. She didn't fry it in real deep fat like some people do. She had just enough lard — hog lard.
Mom raised chickens. She would go out and catch a chicken and wring its old head off and that old chicken would flop off a way over there. I tried to do that after I was married. I tried to wring those chickens. Mom would just do that and them old chickens . . .and I tried to and that old chicken would get away from me and go off. Rich Walker came by one day and Rich stopped. He saw me and that old chicken running off from me, you know. And, he stopped and said, Minnie, let me show you how to kill a chicken. And, he put it down, the chicken, on a board and then he put a stick across his neck and stepped on the stick and after that, I did that and I got along fine. That's the way I killed chickens after that.
We used to go visit relatives in California. We travelled in a wagon. It took a long time to go across the country. You'd make you know, about 30-40 miles a day and it takes a while. I traveled across Texas, you know. My dad thought we had to go to Tioga, Texas. That's way out in west Texas. We'd drink that mineral water for a week – every year we had to go over there and camp. We took our covered wagon and our camping outfit and we'd stop by the side of the road and camp. Just wherever – just pull off the road and get up a little campfire. You could do that. You don't dare do that today nowadays. Mom had an old, heavy iron skillets – I mean it was heavy! And the lid, the top was heavy, too. And she'd cook bread in there – corn bread and biscuits in there. They were good! And she'd boil the beans in that old kettle. I was about 12 or 13. Oh, dad thought we wouldn't live if we didn't do that every summer. That mineral water was really good for us.
Baking in a Dutch Oven – Great Grandmother Roberson
The basic Dutch oven is made of heavy iron with a heavy fitting lid to hold in the steam. Some have short legs that make them good for camping or have a rim around the lid so that coals can be placed on top for baking. It's important to dry a Dutch oven after every use. They can be washed, although it is important to grease them after to avoid rust.
To bake in a Dutch oven, dig a hole about twice as deep and wide as the kettle or bigger. Build a fire in it and let it burn until there are plenty of hot coals. Cover the oven, coals and all with the dirt dug out to make the pit. The dirt cover should be at least 4″ thick, and if you aren't sure about the coals underneath, you may want to build a fire on top.
To bake beans "in the rough" or on the way to Kioge, Texas, to bathe in the mineral waters, grease your Dutch oven. Preheat it (very important). Put the beans or meat or stew inside and put the oven into the hole prepared as above. Cover with coals and dirt and leave. For four to eight hours. An alternative for baking is to set the oven over a few coals and then to heap more coals over it next to your campfire. Be careful, though, because the bottom burns easily with this method.
Biscuits Cornbread in a Dutch Oven
Preheat oven lid of a Dutch oven. Put biscuits in the bottom as the pan is sitting on the coals. It isn't necessary to cut them out, but is all right to t break off chunks of fairly firm dough. Turn them over when browned and then set the lid on the oven. Put the coals on the lid. It will take about 10 minutes, according to experience. To make corn bread, just grease your oven and pour in the batter without preheating. Best served with pear preserves.
Biscuits: Work 2 cups of flour, 1/3 cup of shortening (or lard), ½ teaspoon of salt and a tablespoon of baking powder all together with your hand until pea-sized. Add a little milk until soft dough is formed, but don't work it too much so the baking powder remains active. Mash it out on a floured board with your hands kind of flat and cut with a floured glass or tear off pieces about ½-3/4″ thick. Do everything lightly because of the baking powder. Melting some shortening in the pan as it preheats helps brown the biscuits.
Cornbread: 1¼ cup of flour and ¾ cup cornmeal, about a teaspoon of salt and 2 teaspoons of baking powder. Add ¼ cup sugar if you desire. Stir together dry ingredients. Add one cup milk and one beaten egg and 2 tablespoons of shortening or bacon grease, melted. Stir lightly until lumpy/mixed. For raised cornbread, let your batter set 2-3 minutes before cooking in a greased pan. Cook at 400 for 15 to 20 minutes or follow directions above for a Dutch oven.
A 1 ½ pound chicken makes a good broiler, but you'll want 3 pounds on up for a fryer. A healthy chicken has bright eyes and a red comb. It's easier to corner her in the henhouse or to catch her when you walk up to feed her, but if you can't, make a chicken hook out of a clothes hanger with a miniature shepherd's crook at the end to catch one of the legs.
Great Grandmother Roberson preferred to wring the chicken's neck by grasping it firmly by the upper part close to the head and twirling the body rapidly until it separated from the head. (Well, she did!) Once it was dead and had stopped flopping around, the chicken had to be "picked" which was done dry or by scalding, but had to be done immediately before the flesh got cold. Burning or singeing came next to get the down and very fine, long hairs off.
There was more. Cleaning or "drawing" the chicken meant to remove the innards, head and feet before putting it into very cold water to plump it before cutting it into pieces. By now, you will surely have vowed to purchase your chickens at the grocery. However, if you insist on killing a chicken, call an old timer. For a more modern/roughing experience, try cutting up a whole chicken on your own!
It takes a cast iron skilled. No ifs, ands or buts. Granny's family shallow-fries chicken rather than deep fries it, so place shortening (It would have been lard.) about 1″ deep in the skillet. The grease should be warm when you put the chicken in, but will smoke and/or pop if it is too hot. Keep it at an even temperature so it doesn't scorch, yet the meat cooks as the skin browns.
Cut up a 3 – 4 pound chicken. Salt each piece and dip in flour. Place in heated grease, turning when golden. Drain eat! Cimarron Hotel Not-Secret Method: Soak the chicken in brine, in heavy salt water either for several hours. Dip in flour and place in heated grease, turning when golden.
Remove chicken from the pan. Keep ¼ – ½ cup grease or warm that much stored grease. Add ¼ – ½ flour, stirring constantly until lumps are gone the flour is cooked very lightly browned). Still stirring, add 2 – 4 cups milk until gravy reaches desired consistency. Add salt pepper to taste.

Hacks and tips
It is obvious and true, that in order to sleep calm and be sure in the future of your online business, it is neccessary to secure yourself with regular copies of your website content. Using www.webpage-backup.com service you can make a copy of files or database of any of your projects without distinction either it is a simple website or woocommerce shop. From security point of view, it is important to schedule regular backups, thereby not to lose your content or comments from your databases in case of any trouble. With this online service you can select the folder or special databases that you want to copy and save or just a single website inside your hosting. But for our service it does not matter if the files are large or small, in case of the restoration it is the same. Concerning the local backup which is done on your hosting. If your hosting has enough space it is ok, but it is not recommended and does not provide 100% security for your files, because it is possible that something may happen with your hosting or after some time you want to change your hosting provider. You should remember one truth, if you create secure copies of the site regularly and has limited storage, sooner or later its size will get full and it will not allow to save website copies anymore. Keep it in mind, please. For this reason the best is to use the Dropbox storage. Dropbox storage is scalable and you can remove unnecessary info from it easily, thus clearing some space. You can make it manually and for free. Moreover, cloud storage is more secure than hosting. You do not have to upload your dropbox site security copy on your PC, as the plugin allows to restore it directly from dropbox drive clicking just one button in the plugin. Independently of our service it is possible to download, upload the data from the dropbox account. In order to clone, migrate or copy a site, it is important to have correct access permissions for folders and files to write is the same as permission to access the folder or to uploading it. To perform any task with this tool, it does not matter if your site has SSL certificate or it is normal woocommerce shop without SSL certificate. For our www.webpage-backup.com service it is important that it has permissions to the folders and to the cloud drive.
Special functions

But for some of this function it is required to register on www.webpage-backup.com to be able to manage multisites or just for one page menaging, for cron and scheduled dropbox backup as for full restoration of you WooCommerce shop, website or multisite as well as for migration. It is not possible to make full restoration of website from dropbox copy without the WordPress site itself.

Easy data restoring
To recover your website (or multisite) select necessary back-up with the data of its type, date and size. In case of cloning you restore your old website copy on new wordpress installation. Website movement looks almost the same as a simple site recovery, but requires some more steps. With our file explorer you can match every file separately for restoration. In case of recovering process only these files will be recovered. You cannot restore one file than the next, the plugin provides full website restoration. The restoration time depends from your hosting and upload rate, the file size. Current plugin does not support scheduled restore, unless somebody send a special inquiry on our service to implement scheduled recovering. The recover from the Dropbox cloud storage takes time, depending on the web site size and access permissions of the folders of your hosting provider.
= Is it vital to backup website to remote Dropbox storage?
In the age of trend-setting technologies, backuping is necessary for many life spheres that are related in any way for creation of something. That refers to programming, site building, engineering, designing, not to mention ordinary home data – photos, videos and other stuff. This list can go on and on… One would think, what is so special about this backing up thing? Well, the one fact known for sure is that it saves lives of both: different projects and people who fagged away at these very same projects.
It has been said all the time that everyone should make the reserve copy, but not many actually do that, and besides, there are even those who have no clue about it and what it is for. Nevertheless, information about this procesure is really an important and useful habit, so let's know what's what about it.
Firstly, there's a need to determine the back up process – it is a data redundancy to different storage devices, making copies of the existing data. Now let's clear its usefulness to each and every. On the one hand, modern computers and their hard drives, which are the major and the most popular data storage places, have attained quite dramatic reliability numbers. Multiform redundant coding on different levels of data management provides strong security from the possible sad situations when the information is damaged as a result of accidental error in the act of data saving. But on the second hand thought, even the most dependable storage mediums sooner or later go down, and for what is more, it usually happens all of the sudden. Now that is the break point, when you finally change your mind upon all the information kept by people on their hard discs. Passwords and contacts, momentous pictures and rare music collections, all possible working data – this whole treasure can disappear without warning from your website, which can turn to serious financial and time losses in addition to emotional stress.
The easiest variant is to simply copy data to another folder on a hard drive. But unfortunately, that is an unreliable decision, because that would release you from only the small number of possible problems, even if this folder is placed on another hardware. Now you are aware that at the present digital information day creating of reserve cope of the whole website is neither a whim nor extra precaution, this is a plain safety measure.
What to do if site recover fails?
First of all, check the data spelling. It is the most common mistake. Other common mistakes that may occur during the recovering are:
- to recover from wrong or damaged cloud storage account;
- if done just a database back up – not full and you can't see the recovering site;
- during the recovering process there was an interrupted or lost internet connection;
- In your database there are file exclusions;
- your database backuping was not consistent;
- file archive of reserve copy with a broken checksum;
- misspelled back up due to user failed restore;
Large file and big size databases takes more time to get backed up or recovered. It can take until two hours or more, depends on the size of your database, but for our recovery service it doesn't matter for uploading of large files or small files. The only difference between restoring of the large files and small is the time.
After checking all of these figures please email our support team http://www.webpage-backup.com and we will try to answer as soon as possible and to give you're the best solution how easy to recover your site.
If you see any 5xx error codes, as a return from your backuping procedure:
please, do not hesitate to contact your own system administrator (admins, support etc.), because this type of errors come from your server.
The regular creation of website reserve copy protects from viruses.
There are some requirements for this:
• Make copies of your files and store them at secure remote storage regularly and as often as you can;
• Rank your data by importance backuping essential information first. Generally, temporary files only add up to the back up volume and carry no significance, so get rid of them;
• Do not store your file copies on the same hard drives;
• Make sure you can access your copied content any time and from any place;
• Schedule your backups and ensure you get informed on their status;
• If your medium capacity or bandwidth is limited use compression tools;
A good solution is to have a separate server for remote site copies although it is not fail-safe. If the server is unavailable restoration will be impossible. To ensure high accessibility and data safety use cloud storage services.
There are a lot of services providing free but limited cloud storage capacity like Google Drive, Amazon S3 (AWS) or Dropbox. The problem is they do not support FTP protocol which sometimes is the most adequate way of data transfer. In comparison, virtually every host company supports this protocol.
Different factors may be the reason for someone to restore his data from a dropbox backup. This is a truly helpful option that supposes bringing the saved data from dropbox storage place back to its original in case you've lost or damaged the existing one.
Best Choice to Keep Data
Among the available ways to maintain information the first place belongs rightfully to **remote cloud storages** or **cloud drives**. These are sorts of virtual data storages, that save and manage the data via numerous servers strewn about World Wide Web. Their principle is simple: every 'cloud' has definitively stated limit of Gb virtual space, that is given to a new user absolutely for free. But in time, if a person wants to expand it, he'll have to pay according to price plan. So here we have a simple case of effective advertising – a user gets used to the comfort and mobility of the network repository, and after he concludes that the cloud suits him to the full extend in every meanings, he pays for the "rent" of this sufficiency.
Advantages of Dropbox storage for WordPress
For the present day Dropbox cloud is still an unbeaten leader that comprises multi-million clients number. Most probably that has to do with the fact that it is Dropbox that stood at the origins of virtual space providing to users, and it is the first company, that has realized the idea of remote cloud data storage. It works by creation of a virtual folder in the cloud, where any kind of info can be saved, the one which you download to your Dropbox folder on your computer. For the WordPress website management the best choice is to download a plugin to easily administrate your source from wordpress admin dashboard. Backup&Restore Dropbox has many positive reviews and it deals with the performance of various tasts.
Dropbox Full Backup for WordPress is good for restore, migration and backup tasks. It allows to use your own App key and App secret in order to keep then private with higher security for yourself. It can be your personal guard that can keep all the files saved and backed up as much as possible, and even in case of your website data lost, you are able to restore all the data just with one click.
To make a conclusion we'd say, that in order to be safe and sound with any of your data of your WordPress site information you should secure yourself with backing up of an important information. That will cut possible damages to minimum and save your time and nerves.

Please, reconnect to Dropbox, by clicking "Connect to Dropbox" button, in the "Settings" on plugin page of your website.

There are many hardware and server dependences. Approximately the average time for website takes up to 360 seconds for 50 Mb website.

Backups are free if you make them from standalone plugin version.
- After installing and trying to run a backup… my website fails to load… Can you please help me?
The current plugin doesn't make any changes neither in your WordPress nor in its configuration. It does only archive of your files and copy this archive in local folder or dropbox folder without to make some changes.
Please, open a support ticket and we will try to help you.
- Can I close dropbox plugin page in my WordPress during back up procedre of my website?
Yes, you can close dropbox plugin page in your WordPress website, as the backup will be created during the cron task of WordPress and the whole process will be executed in background.

Try to rename your domain backup folder on Dropbox and use the same Dropbox App key and App secret to get this backup folder on your new WordPress place. After restoring on new folder or hosting – it will give you new cloned WordPress.
Appears To Be a Fraud
The product is weak and simply breaks with normal use. Support was non-existent. I checked with the real dropbox at [ link redacted ], and they have no knowledge at all about this product. This product appears to be using the dropbox brand (name and logo), intellectual property to deceive customers into thinking they are working with the brand owner, dropbox.
If I could give this zero stars, I would. I purchased this plugin to move a website from one host to another. It simply does not work as advertised. I wasted several hours trying to get it to work. It broke my new site and didn't provide any errors. I attempted to use the support site and it was not helpful at all. The support email provided no help either. I ended up manually exporting the DB and files to get my site moved. This plugin is a ripoff. Save your money, time, and frustration. They refused to give me a refund- because they know it doesn't work. It's obviously a scam.
Very Simple!
Works Great! Easy Back Up. Effortless.
Just works
Simple to use, does what it's supposed to do. No complaints!
Simple and Easy
This plugin give me peace of mind. to be fair, I have only tested the backup portion, however, as I am using a managed service provider with no FTP or SSH access, this is a god send to make me feel secure in that I have my most precious content backed up. Thanks!

Rakshasudu Movie Review
Masss (Suriya) and his Friend (Premji Amaren), two conmen, meet with a fatal accident when they were returning with money after a robbery. There after, Masss attains the special ability to see ghosts/spirits around him. A Ghost (Suriya) sought the help of Masss and in return it promises to trace the money lost at the time of accident. Do watch 'Rakshasudu' to know what's the mission of the Ghost and how did Masss find the money...!
Artists Performance:
Suriya: Choosing a subject with paranormal element is highly risky for a star of his stature but he succeeded to a great extent. Especially, His Performance in the latter half deserves a big applause. With 'Rakshasudu', Suriya broke the myth that films made in horror genre only work for hero without stardom.
Nayantara looks stunningly beautiful but Director failed to use her potential to the fullest after a well-etched love track in first half. Pranitha appears in the flashback and she is fine. Premgi Amaren is funny and the sympathy elements works well. Samuthirakanni as antoganist is a good choice. Jai's Cameo is superb and it's an asset to the movie. Parthiban as Cop is effective.
Plus Points:
- Suriya
- Screenplay
- Direction
- Interval Block
- Spooky Super Natural Element
Minus Points:
- Melodrama in Second Half
- Computer Graphics
Suriya and Venkat Prabhu teamed up after delivering disasters such as 'Sikindar' & 'Biryani'. They surprised everyone with an unusual choice of subject and now it's the turn of movie buffs to get thrilled with the product delivered.
Couple of songs composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja are pretty good and they were even picturised well. His Background Score is undoubtedly one of the major highlight of movie. RD Rajasekhar's Camera Angles are worth praising and his expertise in lighting techniques elevated the output. Dialogues are decent. Stunts are shot well. Editing is crisp. CG Work is a big let down. Production Values are damn good.
We might have seen a lot of films falling in Horror Comedy genre in the recent past, but what makes the difference is Suriya's performance, Venkat Prabhu's clap-worthy screenplay and narration. On a whole, 'Rakshasudu' is different and entertaining!
Box Office: 'Rakshasudu' managed decent release in AP & Telangana. As the pre-release theatrical business is just around Rs 10 crore, This Suriya-starrer has every chance to emerge as a winner. Success Ratio of this genre is an added advantage for 'Rakshasudu'.
Verdict: Worth Watching!

The Paris Winter by Imogen Robertson
[mystery, fashion, revenge, seduction, artistry, heroines, friendship, diamonds]
Rooibos de Provence by David's Tea
[blueberries, rosehips, rose petals, lavender, black and red currants]
I chose this tea pairing for the reason that Provence is a province in southeastern France. It's known for its beautiful lavender fields and for being the first Roman province outside the Alps, which means it's cultivated a very unique and distinct cultural and linguistic personality. Okay, so it's quite loin de Paris, but the taste of rooibos de provence—with its wild mixture of flowers and fruit—seems so sophisticated … so quintessentially français. Que pensez-vous ?

Winter Bird Feeding By Patrick Ryan, Education Specialist, Alaska Botanical Garden
You might be tempted to put out your bird feeders, but it is still a little early, according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (DFG). DFG has received recent reports about brown bears still out and about, as well as a few black bears.
According to the DFG website, November 1 is the date for setting up and filling feeders. This date is a guideline, and dates actually depend on the weather. With a changing climate, and bear season seemingly extending later into Fall, the Anchorage Bear Committee has suggested a later date for putting out feeders, extending the date to November 15. This site has good information for feeding birds in Winter:
The problem with setting up bird feeders too early is mainly our Alaska bear population. We all live in bear country. Traditionally in the Lower 48, feeders are set out in the Fall to let birds know that they can locate an additional, steady food source for the Winter. Here's a bonus: in Alaska in the Fall, migrant birds, although not necessarily interested in your feeders, may be attracted by gatherings of local birds, increasing your chances for sighting unusual species.
So what are the birds eating before you set up your feeders? In Anchorage this season, the birch and spruce trees have produced abundant mast. According to the Mast Tree Network "mast is the botanical name for the nuts, seeds, buds, or fruits of trees and shrubs that are eaten by wildlife. There are two main types of mast: Hard mast includes hard nuts and seeds such as acorns, hickory nuts, and walnuts. Soft mast includes berries and fruits such as crabapples, blueberries, and serviceberries. Both types are important year-round food sources for wildlife, but hard mast is often considered more important, especially as a winter food source, due to its higher energy content. The definition of mast is sometimes expanded to include the winged seeds of trees such as maple and elm, as well as pine seeds and nuts and even buds, hips, and catkins such as rose hips." Read the full article here:
In Anchorage this abundance of seeds and berries has meant large amounts of seeds, berry-laden Mountain Ash and loaded crabapple trees, and for many it meant a lot of apples this year. This is good news for birds. You can leave some apples on your trees for a treat.
In addition to finding seeds on the ground, or fruits and berries persisting on trees and shrubs, many birds have unique ways to cache food supplies for the Winter. According the DFG site, "gray jays may be quick to beg for—or filch—a scrap, but they don't just wolf it down. They fly off to cache their plunder—along with thousands of other bits of food—behind flakes of bark, under tree lichens, or in any other crevice that won't be covered in snow later on. To make sure the food stays put until needed that winter, the birds coat it with extra sticky saliva from their enlarged saliva glands."
If you want to learn more about mast mast, a retired wildlife biologist explains the importance of mast to hunters in an article found here:
Although we do not have oaks and nut trees in Alaska, as mentioned in the article, the idea remains the same: animals will be where the food is.
Another way you can enjoy birds is by having your yard become a Certified Wildlife Habitat. It's as simple as providing food, water, cover, places to raise young and sustainable solutions. This means choosing at least two items (see below) to help manage your habitat in a sustainable way. If you are a gardener or a birder, you may be doing these things already. Ideas include:
Soil and Water Conservation: Riparian Buffer • Capture Rain Water from Roof • Xeriscape (water-wise landscaping) • Drip or Soaker Hose for Irrigation • Limit Water Use • Reduce Erosion (i.e. ground cover, terraces) • Use Mulch • Rain Garden
Controlling Exotic Species: Practice Integrated Pest Management • Remove Non-Native Plants and Animals • Use Native Plants • Reduce Lawn Areas
Organic Practices: Eliminate Chemical Pesticides • Eliminate Chemical Fertilizers • Compost
Find out more at the National Wildlife Federation website: http://www.nwf.org/
You can also plan and plant to attract wildlife to your yard. Again, the DFG website has some good information on what to plant, including trees, shrubs, berries, perennials, etc. Another benefit of planting for wildlife is that you can help attract pollinators to your area. See the Million Pollinator Garden Challenge at: www.millionpollinatorgardens.org
Keep in mind that you don't have to be an expert to enjoy backyard birds. Go to: www.allaboutbirds.org ,the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's website. You'll find some great ideas.
If you are interested in learning to identify birds, it's suggested that you start by learning to recognize what group a bird belongs to. You do this in two ways: by becoming familiar with the general shape, color, and behavior of birds. Also learn to notice identifying features on the bird, called field marks—a wingbar, or an eye-ring—to make some IDs.
As an example, our magpies are easy to spot at a distance with their dipping flight. All About Birds says, "On the wing, Black-billed Magpies make long, sweeping flights with white flashes of their wing patches and long, trailing tails. They perch at the tops of trees, which is a means of visually establishing their territory, the equivalent of other bird species' songs. Magpies walk with a swaggering strut."
Pretty easy to learn this one! Here's another: in Anchorage the Bohemain Waxwing is easily identified by their adult description:
-Medium-sized songbird.
-Brownish gray overall.
-Crest on top of head.
-Black mask.
-Yellow tip to tail.
-White and yellow feather edging in wings.
-Reddish under the tail.
Once you spot a particular bird and have made positive ID, that birds is yours! It becomes part of you and you will always know it. You can record sightings by keeping a journal of what kinds of birds are seen in your location and time of year. You can record weather and what the birds ate. UAA provides a checklist at: http://www.universityofalaskamuseumbirds.org/
You can check out Anchorage Audubon Society at their website and plan to attend a meeting. The meetings are free and open to the public, and refreshments are served! The Anchorage Audubon Society, a chapter of the National Audubon Society, meets the third Thursday of each month from September to May at 7:00 pm at the BP Energy Center in Anchorage.: (www.anchorageaudubon.org).
Finally, a great way to learn more about bird identification is to color them. Cornell has a bird coloring book (http://www.birds.cornell.edu/bbimages/pdfs/coloringbook.pdf ), and many more are available on the web. Try to find the more realistic-looking blackline drawings, and use the Internet or a good bird book to accurately color your subject.

He's not looking for a relationship, but
I went out last night with a guy that I have liked for a long time. Since he's did the asking, I was pretty psyched. We talked about quite a few things over dinner, but then he drops a bomb. He's not into the "relationship thing", but he likes me and thinks that we have a lot in common and would like to hang out any time I'm interested.
I have to take what he said about not having a relationship at face value. If it's not what he wants, fine. I don't want to lose hiim as a friend, but fear that if we do "hang out" then I will be hoping for the day that he will actually want a relationship.
Should we hang out together (and I will just have to control my emotions), or do I possibly lose a friend by staying away?

You <B>have</B> a relationship with this guy.
If you want a deeper, more intimate relationship with this guy, then you should invest yourself in the relationship you have and see what it grows into. Maybe it will grow into lifelong love, or maybe it will grow into friendship at a much deeper level.
If you're not willing to value or invest in the relationship you already have, then you have no power to take it to any other level.
"Instant love" is a delusion created in society by sit coms and soap operas. It's seldom satisfying and never lasts.

That's how I see it. We have a relationship... friendship. He's the one who called it a "relationship thing." But I think you're right. I do want to be friends, even if nothing comes of it.
I think he was trying to say that he is not looking for a girlfriend. Which is fine, because I don't have time to invest in a boyfriend. But it is nice to be around somebody who is a lot like me.

Re: He's not looking for a relationship, but
If you don't want to be his girlfriend, then also keep a tight reign on your expectations. You have a friendship with him--it may not turn into much more than a 'friends with benefits' situation--which will get you further from a relationship than closer.

Hmm quenek I don't think Michelle0607
is looking at this guy a a "friendship w/ benefit" type thing. Sex at this point would complicate things if you ask me. I think Michelle0607 is on the right track with getting to know the guy 1st and working on a friendship. Hey (((((((((TAMMY and PBS))))))))))).

My husband and I both said that we were not interested in a relationship when we started talking. Less than two years later we are married with a one month old baby. LOL
We had no expectations beyond being friends but it didn't take it long to blossom into so much more so I say just take things as they come and enjoy your relationship on whatever level you are on without expectations. If it is meant to become more then it will if not then just enjoy what you do have.

Teenage boys at a school in Exeter, United Kingdom, went to school Friday wearing skirts in protest at a ban on wearing shorts.
Around 50 pupils at ISCA Academy are understood to be taking part in the protest after a small group of boys came to school in girls' uniform Thursday.
"My son wanted to wear shorts but was told he would be put in the isolation room for the rest of the week," the mother of one 14-year-old told Devon Live yesterday.
"The head teacher told them 'Well you can wear a skirt if you like' but I think she was being sarcastic.
"However children tend to take you literally and so five boys turned up in skirts today – and because she told them it was ok there was nothing she could do as long as they are school skirts."
One of the five boys is believed to have got in trouble because his dress was too short – and another boy, Josh Baxter, told reporters he'd been told to change back to trousers as he "had hairy legs."
Mother Claire Reeves told Devon Live: "[The school] have told me that if I send my son to school in shorts then he will be sent to the isolation room all day and if I keep him off school then it'll be an unauthorised absence.
"The girls are allowed to wear skirts all year round so I think it's completely unfair that the boys can't wear shorts.
"Boys just don't have the option and I am just really concerned about how the heat is going to affect him."
Following the pupils' protest the school has said it would considering changing its uniform policy in future.
"We recognise that the last few days have been exceptionally hot and we are doing our utmost to enable both students and staff to remain as comfortable as possible," said headteacher Aimee Mitchell.
"Shorts are not currently part of our uniform for boys and I would not want to make any changes without consulting both students and their families.
"However, with hotter weather becoming more normal, I would be happy to consider a change for the future."
