This is Part 2 of the series on the for command. In an earlier article I covered using for to deploy SQL scripts against multiple servers. I'm going to enhance this a little by specifying multiple databases as well, and generating server and database lists automatically. I'll also add a little enhancement for deploying scripts in a particular order of execution.
In the previous article I created a text file (servers.txt) that contained the names of the SQL Servers against which a number of scripts needed to be deployed. The assumption was that there was only a single database (with...

I've already posted an example in a previous article, and I'm going to post a couple more on neat things you can do with the DOS for command.
I recently helped out a friend with a method to deploy stored procedures to multiple servers. Previously he was generating the scripts and running them manually in Query Analyzer, for up to 8 different servers. Getting bored and making mistakes, plus needing it to be foolproof for others to use, he was looking for a better way. Here it is. :)
The for command can enumerate through file contents as well as...

SMB shakes off cobwebs, battles Saigon Heat
San Miguel Beer resumes its campaign fresh off a series of tuneup matches when the Beermen battle the Saigon Heat Saturday night in another road game in the Asean Basketball League (ABL).
The Beermen, who made the most out of their two-week layoff, aim to follow up on their 64-53 road win against the Indonesia Warriors that left coach Leo Austria far from satisfied.
"We didn't play very well; it just so happened we were lucky," said Austria.
The Beermen take on a confident Heat side trying to extend their winning streak to three in the 8:30 p.m. (Manila time) encounter at Tan Binh Stadium in Vietnam.
Austria, though, expects the Beermen to execute better following several tuneup matches during the break, which included wins over PBA teams Barangay Ginebra, 102-93, and Barako Bull, 97-77.
American import Brian Williams posted a double-double of 15 points and 19 rebounds in the Season 4 opener where the Beermen exacted revenge on the Warriors, their finals tormentor last year.
Reigning MVP Leo Avenido and Chris Banchero also provided ample support for the Beermen, who boast a size and depth advantage over the Heat with former PBA MVPs Asi Taulava and Eric Menk and second import Gabe Freeman also in the roster.
The Heat, who have three Filipino imports in their lineup, rebounded from a setback against Malaysia (70-80) with back-to-back thrillers over Indonesia (77-72) and Thailand (77-75).

ESF Expects Record Class for Fall
330 first-year students set to arrive for classes
The SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) is preparing to welcome the largest entering class in its history. More than 330 first-year students and an additional 250 transfer students are expected to enroll for the fall 2014 semester.
Enrollment counts are finalized as students register for fall semester classes, but the combined total of more than 580 new undergraduates surpasses the previous record of 551 set in fall 2012.
The entering transfer class will include more than 60 students who are expected to enroll at ESF's Ranger School campus in Wanakena, N.Y. The recent addition of a new degree program in environmental and natural resources conservation has helped to attract the largest number of Ranger School students in many years.
Students arriving at the main campus in Syracuse will move into a newly expanded residence hall. An addition to Centennial Hall, which is LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold Certified, expands the building's capacity from 452 to 536 students. The college expanded the building in response to student needs for on-campus housing.
Several characteristics make this ESF freshman class unique:
- Twenty-two percent of the entering first-year students and 10 percent of the transfer students will come from outside New York state, maintaining ESF's position as one of the most geographically diverse campuses in the SUNY system.
- The record class will also set a new standard for student diversity. Twenty-two percent of the first-year students and 10 percent of transfers identify themselves as African-American, Asian-American, Native American, multiple race or Hispanic. Three percent of the first-year students are international students, and 47 percent are women.
- The "typical" entering first-year student will have earned a high school average of 91 percent, a class rank in the top fifth of his or her graduating class, and SAT college entrance examination scores in the top 25 percent of all students tested nationally. Incoming transfer students also earned strong grades at their previous colleges, averaging 3.15 (B+) on a 4.00 scale.
On a graduate level, ESF anticipates the arrival of approximately 125 new graduate students for the 2014-15 academic year bringing graduate school enrollment to approximately 455 students.

To clarify for those who have never heard the term, a walk in, is a soul (entity) that has commandeered a physical body on our plain of existence. Please feel free to correct my understanding of the term if required.
It has come to my attention that some interference, or some might say, external influence has been apparent through out humanities existence. Some in the past may have called it witch craft, while others have called it "Being Possessed".
At any rate it makes no difference to a person who strongly believes we humans are nothing more than "smart monkeys", only to live one life. But what if we are more. What if we do have a soul that never dies and actually lives forever? Is that the key that unlocks the secret of secrets?
Some have had concerns that I myself are one of these "Walk Ins". But, what if, we all, are walk ins? Spiritual walk ins that decide before we enter the game, what game piece we will be. Well, I'm sure some of the folks would agree with that and add one of the stipulations to the game is that we have all our memories removed before we enter. After all, whats fair is fair.
I understand the gravity and "long shot" mentality this line of thought carries with it. But, supposing this is all true, sooner or later one comes to the realization that we, presently, on the surface of this planet, are actually the third generation of intelligent beings. That would mean there were (are) two previous generations who have had a great deal of time perfecting the art of Walking into a willing, or unwilling host. Would that not be the hack of all hacks? Would these previous generation walk ins, honor the no memory rule like everyone else, or would they try to dominate and control mankind, from within?
Is it possible? any thoughts?

You say you would never allow walk-ins. What if you had no choice in the matter? What if it happens whether you want it to or not?
I agree with your statement on psychosis.

Lebanese nationality law
|Lebanse Citizenship Act
|Parliament of Lebanon
|An Act relating to Lebanese citizenship
|Enacted by
|Government of Lebanon
|Status: Current legislation
Lebanese nationality law is the law governing the acquisition, transmission and loss of Lebanese citizenship. Lebanese citizenship is the status of being a citizen of the Republic of Lebanon and it can be obtained by birth or naturalisation. The Lebanese nationality is transmitted by paternity (father) (see Jus sanguinis).[1] Therefore, a Lebanese man who holds Lebanese citizenship can automatically confer citizenship to his children and foreign wife (only if entered in the Civil Acts Register in the Republic of Lebanon). Under the current law, descendants of Lebanese emigrants can only receive citizenship from their father and women cannot pass on citizenship to their children or foreign spouses.[2][3] On 12 November 2015, the Parliament of Lebanon approved a draft law that would allow "foreigners of Lebanese origin to get citizenship",[4] the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants Gebran Bassil announced on 5 May 2016 the beginning of the implementation of citizenship law for Lebanese diaspora.[5] [6][additional citation(s) needed] A law passed in 2008 permitted Lebanese abroad to vote in Lebanese elections starting in 2013.[7]

Rights and responsibilities of Lebanese citizens[edit]
Rights of citizens[edit]
Citizens of the Republic of Lebanon by law have the legal right to:
- Live freely in the Republic of Lebanon without any immigration requirements
- Gain access to free education covering primary, secondary and university education
- Receive all health-care benefits at any public health institution
- Participate in the Lebanese political system
- Benefit from the privileges of the free trade market agreements between the Republic of Lebanon and many Arab countries
- Get exempted from taxes with no condition of reciprocity
- Own and Inherit property and values in The Republic of Lebanon
- Enter to and exit from the Republic of Lebanon through any port
- Travel to and from other countries in accordance with visa requirements
- Seek consular assistance and protection abroad by the Republic of Lebanon through Lebanese embassies and consulates abroad
Responsibilities of citizens[edit]
All Lebanese citizens are required by law, when forced by the Lebanese government, to bear arms on behalf of the Republic of Lebanon, to perform noncombatant service in the Lebanese Armed Forces, and to perform work of national importance under civilian direction.
The code[edit]
The code covering the Lebanese nationality was issued in 1926.
Dual citizenship[edit]
According to the Lebanese Ministry for Migration, there has been no restriction on multiple citizenship in The Republic of Lebanon since 1 January 1926.[citation needed] Thus, foreigners who acquire Lebanese citizenship and Lebanese citizens who voluntarily acquire another citizenship keep their previous citizenship (subject to the laws of the other country), as was the case before that date.
Since many nationality laws now allow both parents to transmit their nationality to their common child (and not only the father, as used to often be the case), many children automatically acquire multiple citizenship at birth. However, the Lebanese Ministry for Migration specially notes that this has not resulted in any practical problems worth mentioning. Military service, the most likely problem to arise, is usually done in the country where the applicant resides at the time of conscription. For instance, a dual Lebanese-Armenian national must do his military service in Armenia, since Republic of Armenia has compulsory military service for two years for males from 18 to 27 years old. All male dual citizens regardless where they live are required to serve in the military as if they were Armenian resident citizen with certain exceptions. Most male Armenian citizens living outside of Armenia do not return to serve in the military.
Lebanon previously had mandatory military service for men only. All men were required to do 1 year of military service through age 18+. Training was only done whenever they had free time or time off school including summer vacations and holidays. There were also training done alongside high school. On May 4, 2005, a new conscription system was adopted, making for a six-month service, and pledging to end conscription within two years. As of February 10, 2007 mandatory military service no longer exists in Lebanon thus making it a conscription-free all-volunteer force.[8]
Acquisition of Lebanese Citizenship[edit]
Jus sanguinis[edit]
A child is Lebanese at birth if:
- He/She is the child of a married couple of whom the father is a Lebanese citizen[9]
- He/She is the child of a Lebanese father not married to the mother if the link of paternity has been declared
Simplified naturalization by virtue of marriage[edit]
A foreign wife married to a male Lebanese citizen may apply for Lebanese citizenship by facilitated naturalization after having been married for at least one year and their marriage has been entered in the Civil Acts Register in the Republic of Lebanon since then. No language test is required, but the spouse must show the following:
- Integration into the Lebanese way of life; and
- Compliance with the Lebanese rule of law; and
- No danger to the Republic of Lebanon's internal or external security
It is also possible for the foreign wife of a Lebanese citizen to apply for facilitated naturalization while resident overseas after the following:
- One year of marriage to a husband who is a Lebanese citizen; and
- Close ties to the Republic of Lebanon
Birth in the Republic of Lebanon[edit]
Birth in the Republic of Lebanon does not in itself confer Lebanese citizenship. Therefore, Jus soli does not apply.
Loss of Lebanese citizenship[edit]
Loss due to cessation of paternity[edit]
A child whose Lebanese citizenship depends on paternal links loses citizenship when those are cut.
Loss due to adoption[edit]
A Lebanese child adopted by foreign parents is considered to have lost Lebanese citizenship.
Annulled adoptions[edit]
Where a former Lebanese citizen lost citizenship due to adoption by foreign parents and that adoption is later annulled, the Lebanese citizenship is considered to never have been lost.
Loss due to birth abroad[edit]
A Lebanese citizen born abroad to a Lebanese father and holding at least one other nationality loses the Lebanese citizenship at age 25 if:[citation needed]
- She/He has never been announced to the Lebanese authorities, or
- She/He has never written to the Lebanese authorities expressing her/his desire to retain Lebanese citizenship, or
- She/He (or her/his guardians) have never sought to procure Lebanese identity documents for her/him, i.e. a passport or an identity card
- Equally, the child of a person who thus loses Lebanese nationality equally loses Lebanese nationality
- Exceptionally, a person who has been prevented, against their will, from taking the necessary actions to retain Lebanese citizenship may undertake the required actions within a delay of 1 year following the cessation of such delays
Dual Citizenship[edit]
Even though Lebanese nationality law permits multiple citizenship, a Lebanese national who also holds another country's citizenship may be required to renounce the foreign citizenship, under the foreign country's nationality law. A dual Lebanese-Japanese national must, for instance, make a declaration of choice, to the Japanese Ministry of Justice, before turning 22, as to whether he or she wants to keep the Lebanese or Japanese citizenship.
There is a public demand for giving the opportunity for Lebanese women to transmit their Lebanese nationality to their children and also to their husbands.[10][11][12] Moreover, the Lebanese citizenship to be given to the 8-14 million diaspora of Lebanese living all over the world.[13][14]
On 7 November 2015, Gebran Bassil, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants, "refused to compromise on a draft law that would grant citizenship to the descendants of Lebanese expatriates by expanding it to include the foreign spouses and children of Lebanese women".[15]
On 11 November 2015, the Lebanese Parliament and Free Patriotic Movement member Ibrahim Kanaan stated that the ministers have agreed to pass a "10-article draft law titled "The Reacquisition of Lebanese Citizenship to the Descendants of Lebanese Emigrants," to grant those of Lebanese origin the nationality on the basis of certain procedures and legal pathways.[16][17]
On 12 November 2015, the Lebanese Parliament approved a raft of draft laws Thursday, including a law allowing foreigners of Lebanese origin to get citizenship.[18]
On 5 May 2016, the Gebran Bassil, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants announced the beginning of the implementation of citizenship law for Lebanese diaspora.[19] [20][additional citation(s) needed] However, the law would allow only grandchildren of Lebanese paternal grandfathers but not grandchildren of Lebanese maternal grandmothers to apply for citizenship.[21]
Law for descendants of Lebanese origin[edit]
Article I [22][23][24] Every natural person who meets one of the two eligibility requirements has the right to reclaim his/her Lebanese nationality.
- 1- If the records of the 1921 census at the Ministry of the Interior and Municipalities, and the records of emigration clearly indicate that he/she or any direct paternal ancestral/predecessors or next of kin to the fourth degree were present in the Republic of Lebanon, as registered by the 1921 census records at the Ministry of the Interior and Municipalities (that will prove the emigration to a direct paternal/ancestral predecessor.
- 2- If he/she or the above-mentioned ancestral predecessors or next of kin were naturalized as Lebanese citizens according to the law of naturalization promulgated in January 19, 1925, and has neglected to claim or reclaim his/her citizenship. In other words, most emigrants required little more than their emigration papers that listed origins.[25][26]
Article II [27][28][29] This law intends to verify the "actual presence of Lebanese relatives in the town, village or neighborhood," which an individual would claim, including the degree of kinship, along with any ownership/holding of rights to real property that may have been "devised, bequeathed, or inherited from a Lebanese citizen."
|I swear by Almighty God that I have decided to reclaim my Lebanese nationality entirely of my own free will
Although bureaucratic in nature, this aspect of the law was meant to encourage associations with the land, a defining feature of Lebanese nationality. Where one traced his/her roots were deemed vital that, again, added a specific feature to the law. The law would allow grandchildren of Lebanese paternal grandfathers to apply for citizenship.[30] The latest law would help Lebanese expatriates take part in future Lebanese parliamentary elections by voting at Lebanese embassies abroad. The number of Lebanese living outside the country is thought to at least double the number of citizens living inside,[31] which means at least 8 million people.

U.K. outlines massive cuts to public spending
Public-sector jobs, social programs will be hit
Britain's coalition government has laid out a series of sweeping spending cuts meant to help reduce the country's growing debt and bring the country "back from the brink."
Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said Wednesday that the government will make cuts totalling more than £81 billion ($132 billion Cdn) through 2015, and will bring "the years of ever-rising borrowing to an end."
The cutbacks will affect a range of departments and as many as 500,000 public-sector jobs could be lost as the cuts are implemented.
"Today is the day when Britain steps back from the brink," Osborne said.
"We are going to bring the years of ever-rising borrowing to an end," he said.
He said the government would work to ensure that "we do not saddle our children with the interest on the interest on the interest of the debts that we were not prepared ourselves to pay."
Few departments spared
During his address to MPs, it was clear that few government departments have been spared.
The National Health Service, pre-university education and international development budgets will be protected from the cuts — but the policing budget will fall by four per cent each year. The Justice Ministry must cut its budget by six per cent per year, but funding for fighting terrorism would be maintained.
The Foreign Office will see a 24 per cent budget cut and the British Broadcasting Corp. will be required to take on the full cost of running its world service.
Welfare funding will also be reduced and the minimum age for people seeking state pensions will be raised earlier than previously expected.
Osborne said that even the Queen would be affected, as the royal household budget will be cut by 14 per cent over four years.
After spending billions bailing out indebted banks, and suffering a squeeze on tax revenue and a hike in welfare bills, he said it would take time to turn things around.
"In every area where we make savings, we must leave no stone left unturned in our search for waste, and we must deliver changes necessary to make our public services fit for the modern age," he said.
"We are all in this together and all must make a contribution," he told legislators in a long anticipated statement to outline the coalition government's long-term economic plans.
Osborne also said that a temporary levy on bank balance sheets being introduced in January will be made permanent, potentially raising billions of dollars.
"We will extract the maximum sustainable taxes from the banking system," he said.
Osborne said fairness means "creating a welfare system that helps the vulnerable, supports people into work and is affordable for the working families that pay for it with their taxes."
"Fairness also means that across the entire deficit reduction plan, those with the most should pay the most, and that includes our banks," he said.
Union vows to fight
However, some groups have vowed to fight the cuts — Britain's largest reductions in public spending since the Second World War.
"This is the start of the fight," said Carol Davies, a member of the major public sector union UNISON.
"The public will be behind us," she said ahead of the spending review announcements.
Some critics have said the timing of the cuts could slow the country's economic recovery or send the U.K. into a double-dip recession.

text: Hello. I know very little about photography but I am planning to learn as much as possible. I want to learn how to take real photographs, not just operate a point and shoot camera. I was thinking of getting a digital SLR but they are a lot of money. I read that the fully manual cameras are the best to learn everything about photography on, so I was thinking about buying a film camera first then waiting until the Digital SLR come down to <$500 before buying one. Would I be spending nearly as much on a decent manual film SLR as I would be on Digital Rebel or *ist DS? Danke.

Soviet ballerina Lyudmila Vlasova, who last year chose to leave her defecting husband in New York and return to the Soviet Union, said Sunday she had applied to join him in the United States.
The wife of former Bolshoi dancer Alexander Godunov said in an interview: "I have sought permission to join my husband. I hope to have a positive reply and I hope it will be soon."
Miss Vlasova was held for more than 80 hours on board a grounded airliner last August at Kennedy Airport while US officials satisfied themselves that she was returning to the Soviet Union of her own free will.

Dr. Fent,
Please know that I am thinking of you and your family during this time of loss. You always spoke so fondly of your father (and mother). I am praying for comfort and peace as you go through this time.
Carlie Wellington
Melvin Riley Fent, age 90, was born July 12, 1925, in Fallis, OK, to Horace D. and Catherine Elizabeth (Christ) Fent. Following a stroke, he went to be with loved ones on Tuesday, July 5, 2016.
He served in the U.S. Navy spending 22 months in the South Pacific at the end of WWII. After returning to Luther, he held multiple positions over the course of his life including: oilfield roughneck, insurance salesman, owner of the Fent Food Mart, car salesman, transport driver at Tinker Air Force base, and realtor. Throughout Melvin's life, his family, church and community played important roles. He was married to the love of his life, Mary Ann (Boydston) Fent for 69 years; they had two daughters, Brenda Tytenicz and Darla Fent, and two grandchildren, Treasure Morgan and Shane Tytenicz.
Melvin was a life-long member of the First United Methodist Church in Luther where he served in many roles, including singing in the choir with Mary Ann. Similarly, he served his community in mulitple ways including: sports coach, school board, Lion's Club, Senior Citizen's Center, and Santa's helper.
Another of his joys was gardening; he loved tilling the soil and sharing the produce with friends and family.
Melvin was preceded in death by his beloved, Mary Ann; his parents; two brothers – Richard and Ramon Fent; three sisters – Leona Ramsey Oaks, Ruth Betchan and Cleo McAllister. Melvin is survived by Brenda and husband, Leo Tytenicz; Darla and fiancé, Grant Kelly; Treasure and husband, Danny Morgan; Shane and wife, Luciana; and a host of loving relatives.
Melvin was much loved and will be dearly missed. A special 'thank you' goes to the hospice nurses at Mercy Hospital and "The Inn" at the Fountains at Canterbury for their love and care.
In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to the First United Methodist Church of Luther.
Dr. Fent,

Workouts and Weightloss Wednesday Ft Tilly WK 48/12/2013
Sorry about my tardiness with this post last week, as #wwwednesday happened Thursday, but I am back on, last week I had mentioned that I had been to the gym with a male friend of mine and I urged Tilly to do the same, so I am so intrigued to figure out how she did!
I loved the gym time, but what I hated/loved was the soreness that it brought, after the first two days the pain of straightening my right arm was unbearably painful, after the pain subsided, my arms felt like they could lift anything, super strong and easy.
Lets fill you in on how my week of food has gone!
My appetite has practically diminished and since my last weigh in I am now 124.lb which is a loss of 8lbs which is half a stone, I feel lighter, I also feel a tad sexier, but that may be due to a new love interest that has entered my life, or he may have entrered it because I'm feeling sexier, its a catch 22 argument.
Thank you for following along, and sorry for the late upload, I've had so many things on my mind at the moment and I'm studying for an exam so bare with me. Ta Ta.
2 Holla's
Mike kinda gave up on the workout before I did so it didn't work out as well as anticipated. Maybe next time! xReplyDelete
I use this app! Its super helpful!ReplyDelete
I love it when you leave comments, leave a blog post link or your twitter and I'll always message you to tell you I've replied.

Go Back to Bed, Obama
A girl at Gleason's Boxing Gym is wearing a T-shirt—
Obama, the drama,
Strutting like a broken footed llama in the Andes
Of his lies.
Obama is the absence of plot in a dance of characters.
He is the play within the play that fails to have the conscience
Of a king.
Hamlet was betrayed by Claudius who became
Our modern Obama.
Stupid is as stupid dresses.
The lark of the gym girl's failure is the flight of the country's
How many veterans must die before she closes her eyes
To our President's hype?
How many times must Obama blame the Republicans
For his own divisiveness?
He doesn't believe in death panels but he has put
A communist grid around our heads
And killed us with governmental excess and attention.
He lies.
He isn't shy.
We die beneath the weight of his big government.
I get sties in my eyes when I look at his dissemblance.
The liberal Washington Post points out his Pinocchio's.
He is a wooden head.
Who else would want to rule the world by deduction,
Ignoring the inductive reasoning of pragmatic intelligence.
Obama, put on your pajamas and go back to bed where
You can't hurt anyone except Michelle who has to swallow
Your warped rhetoric.

How To Cook The Perfect Steak
Firstly, choose your steak.
Most people opt for fillet, the most tender and expensive of steaks, but in my opinion, fillet can be a little tasteless. Sirloin and Rib-eye steaks are a little less tender than fillet, but if these steaks have been dry-aged, they'll be tender enough. Together with their fat cover and marbling, it makes them much tastier, as confirmed by my wife, Louise, (they're her favourites!).
Rump steak is the least expensive of the 'frying cuts' but I find they've the most flavour; again, the 21-day dry-ageing process ensures the succulence.
The most romantic of steaks is the "cote de boeuf". This is basically a double rib-eye on the bone served rare - with Béarnaise sauce, it's the ideal choice for Valentine's night.
Make sure your steak is at room temperature, then get your pan red hot. Immediately prior to cooking, lightly oil your steak with rapeseed oil (this has a higher flash point) and season well.
Place your steak flat in your pan and cook on full heat for 2 minutes, (for a steak that's about ¾" thick). You don't need to move the steak about, just leave it, then after 2 minutes remove the steak from the pan altogether. Give the pan time to get back to full heat then deliver the steak back to the pan - on its uncooked side - for a further 2 minutes. Remove again and place it to rest on a warm plate for at least 4 minutes, giving you enough time to make the sauce.
Deglaze your pan with brandy or whisky. Let it cool a little then add a good knob of butter, some cream and green peppercorns. Warm this, and also stir in any juices from your resting steak.
Pour a little of your sauce over the steak, serve with chunky homemade oven chips and rocket salad and the best red wine you can find.
….and voilà!
Your steak should be rare, or at the very outside, medium rare; cooked any further than that and you will have ruined a good steak!
*For the cote de boeuf, cook the same way - 2 minutes each side - but then place in a red-hot oven for 10 minutes. Rest it for another 10 minutes while you make your Béarnaise sauce. Carve the meat at an angle so you can share it with your Valentine. (They always say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach….)

Last week at my local Camera Club we held our last internal competition of the season. It was 'open subject' so the images submitted were many and varied. I, as usual, had difficulty prior to the event deciding what to choose for submission (the decision making involved in selection nearly drives me round the twist as I have real trouble in making up my mind, nothing ever seems good enough to me) but in the end opted for two of my Alberta landscapes in the prints section. I was convinced they wouldn't do so well, but was hugely honoured and pleased when the judge awarded top marks for my 'Autumn on the Parkway' shot and better still I came second too with Spirit Island. For me the highest praise from the judge (well respected in our area) was the fact he said would love to hang the Icefields Parkway shot on his wall.

Tips, Tools and Tutorials
It's no surprise that Excel would be in the SEO toolbox given that Excel is versatile not only in storing data but also in providing calculations and visualizations of said data.
However, there are a lot of ways that you can use Excel as a tool for SEO. Though you're likely to find some other great SEO related Excel tricks from Richard Baxter, Annie Cushing, and John Doherty, these are just a few of my personal favorite Excel SEO tools…
Some of the most commonly sought-after metrics (that I've noticed) that SEOs strive to track and report on are search engine rankings, traffic, and conversion data. Though there are plenty of other metrics that may be important to online marketers, including social media metrics, these three seem to be at the core of a lot of SEO reporting. The problem: how do you pull the data altogether to see a correlation of ranking, traffic, and conversions side-by-side?
To view your ranking, traffic, and conversion correlation, there are a few ways you could set up your data visualization. Nathan Safran at Conductor wrote a post about an Integrated Metrics View, which I have to admit is pretty cool. It gives you an overview of your traffic, conversions, revenue, and average rank over time. In the examples he provides, you get a pretty good picture of what's going on with the correlation of your rank, traffic, and conversions (as well as revenue).
The purpose of all data visualizations should be to depict the story of what is going on with all your data in a simple, easy-to-understand graphic that gives you actionable insight at a glance. Months prior to stumbling upon this feature of Conductor's searchlight report, I had been utilizing my own Excel data visualization that was slightly different but served a similar purpose: to show how rank influenced traffic and conversions over time. Here's an example of how this worked:
As you can see, the Excel chart shows the traffic and conversions represented in line graphs over time.
I utilized line chart types for the traffic and conversions and a stacked column for ranking data, thereby allowing the ranking data to be broken up into different sections (in this case, it is broken up by the page in which the keywords are found in search engine results). Though average rank is helpful, in some cases, you may need a combination of qualitative and quantitative data which an average rank may not be able to provide. Here, you can clearly see how the number of keywords that were ranking in higher page "brackets" (pages 4 and 5) were slowly decreasing as the number of keywords in the lower page "brackets" (pages 1 and 2) were slowly increasing.
The other downside to referencing an average rank is that ranking should be inversely relative to your traffic and conversions (that is to say, the lower your rank, the higher your traffic/conversions and vice versa), so if you decide to build an average rank into your charts, keep in mind that it will likely require having to make some changes to your chart to accommodate the change in scale (e.g. adding formulas to subtract the rank from 100). There's no one-size-fits-all approach to reporting so it really just depends on your focus.
I'm a bit biased and prefer my RT&C chart over the Integrated Metrics View chart, but the benefit to using the Integrated Metrics View is that the data is already being pulled into the report as part of the Conductor SaaS. Though the Excel method may seem free, there is technically a "cost" associated with using the Excel chart since there is time and effort to factor in when you're gathering and organizing your Internet marketing data, so this method should only be used when other alternatives are not an option.
At some point, you're probably going to be interested in doing some keyword research for your site. Usually this is done at the beginning of your campaign, but it doesn't hurt to reassess your Internet marketing efforts periodically to keep up with trends in search queries. Though there are a lot of tools out there that can help you with your keyword research process, one of the more commonly used tools is the Google AdWords Keyword Tool.
Though the AdWords Keyword Tool is intended for PPC advertising research (for Google's paying customers), the data can be used for organic search engine optimization research as well. You are limited to querying 100 keywords at a time, but you can collect a bunch of data and store it in a single workbook. From there, you can create formulas in an adjacent sheet (tab) to pull the data that you collected from the AdWords Keyword Tool to match up with specific keywords you wish to target (or you can keep it in the same tab like the example below). There's a really simple way you can do this:
With an INDEX/MATCH formula (like the one below), you can devlop lists of just the keywords you want data for and the corresponding competition and search volume as well. This can help you save some time digging around for the matching search volume and competition values for keywords that you're researching. In the example above, I used Exact Match keywords (which are surrounded by brackets).
Example Formula (this is what is found in cell G2 but you can copy this formula across to C2 and down as needed):
When you can't do a data dump of your site's database, you sometimes need to use tools to scrape your site to grab important information about your site's pages that can influence your search engine optimization. There are two tools that I prefer to use for this purpose: Xenu Link Sleuth and Screaming Frog SEO Spider. They both do very similar things but there are just a few differences between the two:
Screaming Frog
If you want to scrape a bunch of content from a site, then Screaming Frog would be the better choice, but given that you're limited to 500 URLs (unless you want to pay for an upgrade), you may find Xenu to be an acceptable alternative (there's another way you can utilize another tool in conjunction with Xenu to pull some of the data that Screaming Frog provides, but more about that later).
One of the most important reasons I utilize Xenu or Screaming Frog to scrape a site is to identify broken links and/or HTTP Status codes. I will sometimes use it to identify file types as well (see graphic below).
To make a very simple pie chart displaying the distribution of HTTP codes from a Xenu or Screaming Frog export, all you have to do is use a COUNTIF formula for each response code. For example, to count all your URLs with a 200 (OK) HTTP status, you could use a formula like:
[where your HTTP status codes would be listed in Column C from rows 21 to 100]
If you only want to count the number of pages that have 200 OK status that are internal links (URLs from your own domain), then you would use a COUNTIFS formula like:
[where your URLs are listed in Column B from rows 21 to 100 and your HTTP status codes would be listed in Column C from rows 21 to 100]
Once you have your "table" structure, you can easily create a chart that pulls from that data source. You can also utilize COUNTIF and COUNTIFS functions to detect lengthy page titles, meta descriptions, or even missing titles and/or descriptions. You just create "helper columns" to count the character length (LEN function) of your page titles and meta descriptions and reference those in your tables which your charts pull from.
Remember way up there when I mentioned that there's a "way around" not having all the lovely data that Screaming Frog provides that you wish you had with a Xenu scrape? You can run a Xenu scrape to gather the URLs for your entire site, which you would use to generate your list of the pages that you need to scrape page titles, meta descriptions, etc. for. You could then utilize the SEOTools Plugin for Excel to grab the page titles, meta descriptions, H1 tags, secondary H1 tags, meta keywords tags, rel="canonical" tags, and meta robots tags for those corresponding pages. This takes more time because you have to scrape each URL individually, but if you're in a pinch, this plugin allows you to pull that data straight into Excel for further analysis on a wide-scale. I can't say enough good things about the SEOTools Plugin so please check out Niels' site to learn more.
Rich snippets are where it's at! Making your SERPs listings stand out against the crowd can help you bring in more visitors without having to fight so hard for that #1 spot. However, knowing what vocabulary to use for your structured data markup can be a bit confusing. Currently, Google is using the vocabulary from data-vocabulary.org for marking up code on your site to create rich snippets of your site's breadcrumbs in the SERPs. I created a quick tool to create a mockup of that code. Here's what it looks like:
The Output cell contains CONCATENATE functions to wrap the name and URLs of each of the breadcrumb values in structured data markup. To learn more about this feature and how to implement the code, check out Google's Rich Snippet Breadcrumbs page.
On a similar note, I also created a tool with Excel to create a mockup of the code you would need to apply Local Business schema to content on your site. Much like the breadcrumb markup generator above, the Output cell wraps the location information listed in the cells above it with structured data markup (specifically Local Business Schema). You can also find some online Local Business Schema generators like the one here. And, if you need, you can also test the output of your schema with Google's Rich Snippet Testing tool which works for testing the breadcrumb markup listed above (note: if you're testing the code, make sure to select the HTML tab).
Last, but not least, I also created a tool to append UTM codes to URLs (back in the day when I was adding tracking codes to URLs for Google Shopping feeds back when Google was providing free Google Shopping listings). You don't have to use UTM codes strictly for paid campaigns–you can use it for a lot of other purposes (like tracking your CTR of links you build out as part of an email marketing campaign for example). You can find more information on how to use UTM codes here.

Matthew 13:19 King James Version (KJV)
19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
John 8:44 King James Version (KJV)
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Romans 1:18-32 King James Version (KJV)
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Jude 10 King James Version (KJV)
10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

Working together to provide scientific information, tools, and support for decisions to conserve large connected areas that sustain natural and cultural resources and people in a rapidly changing world.
Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs) and Climate Science Centers (CSCs) are non-regulatory conservation partnerships that have been established to help respond to environmental stressors that transcend state lines and are beyond the organizational ability of any one agency. LCCs are the primary stakeholders of the Department of the Interior's CSCs. CSCs provide decision-focused research, information products, and tools to inform landscape-scale conservation plans developed by LCCs. By connecting science with on-the-ground management, LCC and CSC scientists and staff work with resource managers to develop vital tools and understanding to help natural systems withstand a range of landscape-scale stressors magnified by a changing climate.
Common Priorities
- Providing conservation and climate information for stakeholders to use in making management decisions.
- Coordinating activities and best practices for effective conservation and climate adaptation.
- Developing decision-support tools and products that engage a variety of stakeholders and address regional priorities.
Complementary Roles
- CSCs seek to understand climate-related ecosystem vulnerabilities and adaptation issues. LCCs address a broader suite of conservation challenges specific to their regions, including climate and land use change.
- Each CSC focuses on regional research objectives in direct response to the science needs developed by LCCs and conservation partners. This process promotes multi-scale science that links landscapes and communities within and beyond regional boundaries.
- Each LCC provides a forum where a large suite of conservation partners can identify priority management problems, related objectives, and science needs and convey those to CSCs. This method promotes the interdisciplinary, regional-local, and public-private dialogue needed to respond effectively to challenges posed by climate change.
Working Together
- CSCs and LCCs leverage the science capacity and management expertise of diverse partners to ensure efficient development and application of information.
- CSCs and LCCs develop coordinated and complementary science programs, leveraging the most appropriate science assets (i.e., university, federal, other) across all science providers in the region.
- Both CSCs and LCCs provide fundamental science support for decision-making by understanding priority objectives, assembling key datasets, and supporting the creation of models and web-based tools.
- The collaboration of CSCs and LCCs ensures strong communications between scientists and managers across the landscape.
LCC-CSC Collaborations: Projects and Progress
Coastal Wetland Habitat and Sea-Level Rise
Funds will be leveraged between several organizations to facilitate regional and local decision-making efforts to manage coastal wetlands and waterbird habitats in the face of sea level rise and increased coastal flooding. The Atlantic coastal LCCs (North and South Atlantic, Peninsular Florida and Caribbean) and CSCs (Northeast and Southeast) will work together by conducting joint planning and information-sharing workshops with National Wildlife Refuge Managers and other decision makers to identify areas of management concern and use these to frame a 'problem statement' that encompasses the complex, multi-scale nature of these issues and, at the same time, offers a logical and strategic approach to problem-solving. The project will capitalize on LCC and CSC networks to ensure that results and feedback are communicated in both directions.
Stream Temperature Mapping in the Northeast
The NorEaST project is funded through the Northeast CSC and is developing a data portal to serve as a coordinated, multi-agency framework to map and store continuous stream temperature locations and data for the NE CSC region. The project was initiated to address the needs of the North Atlantic and Upper Midwest and Great Lakes LCC partners, among other state and federal natural resource managers. The goal is to gain access to the best available data and tools to support decisions related to freshwater stream temperature and flow regimes and how these factors will influence the distribution of aquatic species. Through the NorEaST project, additional stream temperature data have been acquired to develop and inform stream temperature models and fish predictive models for an Upper Midwest and Great Lakes LCC project on fish vulnerability to climate change.
Reducing Gulf Hypoxia and Helping Wildlife Impacted by Extreme Climate Events
Natural resources agencies and organizations throughout the Mississippi River basin have identified high nutrient runoff, a major contributor to Gulf hypoxia, and declines in wildlife populations as complex conservation challenges requiring collaborative action through the LCC network. With financial and technical support provided by the Northeast Climate Science Center as well as multiple federal, state and academic LCC partners across the basin, project coordinators are developing a spatial decision support system to identify watersheds within the Mississippi River basin where application of conservation practices can reduce nutrient export to the Gulf hypoxia zone and enhance conservation for grassland and riparian birds. The project will identify landowners who are willing and capable of implementing these practices. The decision support system will identify appropriate conservation practices to be implemented, and quantify resulting benefits for both nutrient export and bird habitat. The system will also enable analyses of whether landowner willingness to implement desired practices is affected by perceptions of climate extremes. This pilot effort seeks to move current conservation approaches to a more strategic level by identifying where to locate conservation, restoration and management efforts in critical watersheds for the greatest overall benefit to both people and wildlife.

A premium natural look penetrating/impregnating sealer is the normal choice on polished or honed marble, limestone, granite, or where the natural color of a slate is desired. A stone enhancer sealer is often used on tumbled, antique stones or on slate where a darker, enriched or highlighted character is desired. When choosing either one of these types of sealers, make sure the brand you have chosen is formulated to provide maximum stain protection for stone products. Stone products should be tested periodically per manufacturer's instructions to insure that the sealer is working effectively.
Penetrating/impregnating stone sealers are a no-sheen, natural look sealer that can be water-based or solvent-based, good for interior and exterior applications. Most quality sealers of this type are rated to protect the stone for several years.
Stone enhancer sealers are also a no-sheen, penetrating/impregnating sealer that is formulated to darken, enrich and highlight the natural color and beauty of stone products. They will rejuvenate and improve the appearance of worn and weathered stone. Always test loose pieces of stone to ensure desired effect with enhancing sealers. However, they will also darken the color of grout joints. They are, generally, suitable for interior and exterior use, and rated to protect the stone for several years.

There's something strange obscuring the light from a cool, low-mass star observed by NASA's Kepler mission. Every 15.685 Earth days, KIC 12557548's light dims for about 1.5 hours. The dips in starlight aren't always the same — some events block more light than others — so the occultations don't look like the regular blip caused by a planet passing in front of the star. After considering various options, an international team of astronomers reported recently that the signal might be from debris thrown off by a small rocky planet as it disintegrates under the star's glare.Astronomers found what looks like an evaporating gas giant in 2003, but if real KIC 12557548's world would be the first solid exoplanet seen dematerializing.
So far there isn't a lot of information to go on. The transits' regularity argues against wildly off-kilter orbits, and observations seem to rule out anything larger than three Jupiter masses. The comet-like tail the researchers suggest as an explanation can't be made of hydrogen, like the tail seen from the 2003 discovery HD 209458b, because the gas wouldn't block enough light: particulates (like dust) are needed. The planet needs to be pretty small, too — the astronomers assume a little less than 2 times Mercury's mass for their calculations — in order to not show up in the observed light dips. It also needs to be small enough that dust can overcome the body's surface gravity and launch into space.
A super-Mercury like the one the astronomers propose would only survive about 200 million years before it vaporized. The authors note that "this is probably less than the age of the star, but not alarmingly so." The "not alarmingly so" means that the timescales for the star's age and for planet evaporation are about the same, which is good for the dissipating exoplanet hypothesis because it isn't impossible for the planet to still be there. On the other hand, it'd be safer for the hypothesis if the disintegration time was significantly longer than the star's age.
Spectral observations may be able to determine if the planet and its tail are there and what the tail is made of. The astronomers put their bet on pyroxene, a silicate mineral found in Earth's crust and mantle (and in meteorites) that should survive close proximity to KIC 12557548 long enough to block starlight before the grains vaporize.

The speakers of Proto-Indo-European were farmers and stockbreeders: we can reconstruct words for bull, cow, ox, ram, ewe, pig and piglet… They divided their possessions into two categories: movables and immovables; and the root for movable wealth (*peku-, the ancestor of such English words as pecuniary) became a term for herds in general.
–from The Horse, the Wheel and Language
There is a wide swath of the world stretching from Iceland to India where many different languages are spoken. The vocabulary and structure of those languages may be very different (which is why so many people also speak English now) but most of them belong to the Indo-European language group. Later discovery and colonization spread Germanic and Latinate languages into the Western Hemisphere so that today about half the people on Earth learn an Indo-European tongue at their mother's knee. Nobody today speaks "Indo-European", but about 6,000 years ago there was a Proto-Indo-European language spoken by a relatively small group of people. How that language was formed and spread – what those ancient people spoke about and how they said it – has been a matter for scholarly concern and some controversy for several centuries.
"The Horse, the Wheel and Language: How Bronze-Age Riders from the Eurasian Steppes Shaped the Modern World" is a new book that seeks to identify the first Indo-European speakers and their place in history and on the map. The author is David W. Anthony, professor of anthropology at Hartwick College. For over thirty years, Dr. Anthony has been studying the evolution of language. His anthropological and archeological field work in the region that includes parts of Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan, combined with research into history, linguistics, agriculture and even veterinary medicine, has brought us closer to an answer to one of civilization's most intriguing questions.
It is believed that Indo-European had its origin in the landmass that spans Europe and Asia. Dr. Anthony finds the linguistic homeland in the steppes of Eurasia with the Yamnaya around 4,000 BCE. As the review of his book in the New York Times stated, "Anthony is not the first scholar to make the case that Proto-Indo-European came from this region, but given the immense array of evidence he presents, he may be the last one who has to."
The forces that led to the dominance of Proto-Indo-European millennia ago can be likened to those that develop and stabilize nations today: a sense of place, good housing, dependable transportation, meaningful rituals and social structures. But the first steps included domestication of animals, especially the horse (useful both for food and transportation). Then came the world's first invention, the wheel – called then, as written in modern linguistic notation, *kwékwlos – and the axle. "The recovery of even fragments of the Proto-Indo-European language is a remarkable accomplishment," writes Dr. Anthony, "considering that it was spoken by nonliterate people many thousands of years ago and never was written down." By examining changes in language during historic times scholars have been able to work backwards, in a sense, to unfold the changes that likely took place before there were written records. But it is granted that there is no direct evidence, and that is indicated by a * before the word.
Anthropologist David Anthony joins Bill Jaker on OFF THE PAGE to tell about the starting point of the languages we speak and his ongoing field work in the steppes of Eurasia. He will also say words that are considered part of a "dead" language and explain how he was able to reach back to a time before written language.

Recently we blogged about CNHP's Conservation Planning Team evaluating the potential effects of future climate conditions on Colorado's species and ecosystems. An important part of this work is to look at projected future conditions in comparison with recent climate patterns. The graph below shows the projected direction of change in the current location of Colorado's major terrestrial ecosystems as described by average annual temperature and precipitation.
|Projected seasonal average precipitation and mean temperature trajectories for current upland ecosystem ranges in Colorado summer by mid-century under a high radiative forcing scenario (RCP8.5).
Of course average temperature and precipitation patterns are not the whole story. The interaction of climatic conditions with other abiotic factors (e.g. soils, disturbance), life-history traits of the component species (e.g. growth form, dispersal mechanisms), and past history shapes the observed distribution of ecosystems. Because many of the characteristic species of these ecosystems are long-lived, the time lag between the onset of new climate conditions and the response of the species to those conditions, adds another level of uncertainty to projections of future distribution. Climate changes over the past few decades are probably already facilitating a gradual modification of ecosystem extent and species composition that will become more apparent by mid-century.

So... I've been a bit distracted lately.
Still taking photos, but haven't had the energy to post them.
I'll start with my most recent photos, since the memories of
those are still fresh in my mind....
Took a quick trip to California.
Upon arriving, I noticed the overcast sky and the light drizzle...
It didn't last very long and the next day was bright and sunny.
Too sunny. Headache sunny. At least the cool breeze made it bearable.
Took a quick tour through Lotusland... a botanical wonderland.
Check out the website, or visit this place if you can....
there's quite the history behind this beautiful place.
Budding Roses...love the bokeh effect here.
There were many other sculptures to see,
but I really like the fun shapes of these
with the mouse in the foreground.
I like the contrast of the lighter cacti
against the darker, dense vegetation in
the background.
