This is the final result! As you can see the Henna is not completely out of my hair. However it is much lighter and almost a strawberry blonde instead of the bright orange. Getting Henna out of your hair is not easy and I'd have to do this a few more times to get blonde hair. I'm not going to damage my hair anymore so this will be the end result until I redo it with Henna in Strawberry Blonde color.
Chemicals are the worst thing to put in your hair. I did this experiment for all of you, and I hope this will show you why Henna is better for your hair. Henna coats your hair, conditions it, and even treats dandruff. Already with using chemicals, my scalp is irritated and itching, my hair is falling out, the ends are brittle, and my hair feels like straw. I will be putting Henna back in my hair to let it heal the damage I just did.
This is what happens if you bleach your hair after using henna! Let me know what you think about this experiment!

Left tackle Joe Staley practiced Thursday with the 49ers, four days after spraining his right knee in their 23-13 win over the St. Louis Rams.
Staley missed Wednesday's practice and figured unlikely to play in Sunday's home game against the first-place Seattle Seahawks. His participation Thursday offered optimism that he could keep alive a starting streak dating back to the 2011 season opener.
Staley has been selected to the past two Pro Bowls. Alex Boone moved over from right guard to replace Staley once he got hurt in Sunday's opening series.
Left guard Mike Iupati continued to do individual conditioning. He's been out since spraining his left knee in a Nov. 17 loss at New Orleans.
Rookie tight end Vance McDonald (ankle) was not participating in team drills at the start of practice.
Defensive tackles Justin Smith (shoulder) and Ray McDonald (ankle) were practicing, as were wide receivers Michael Crabtree (Achilles) and Quinton Patton (foot). Neither Crabtree nor Patton have been on recent injury reports and look fully healthy.
Cornerback Tarell Brown (ribs) practiced for a second straight day in a non-contact jersey. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said Brown would be eased back into action when capable, thus it's likely Tramaine Brock would earn a third straight start at right cornerback.

More specifically, an analysis of word frequencies done on 29,213,800 words, taken from TV and Movie scripts and transcripts that were available on the Internet in February 2006, shows that just 63 words account for 50% of the 29,213,800 words collected.
That's amusing. What's more interesting is my source, the article A practical model for analyzing long tails by Kalevi Kilkki, Principal Scientist, Nokia Siemens Networks, in the May issue of First Monday.
I'm a fan of Chris Anderson, have read his article, skimmed his book and I have commented on the subject before. Kilkki's article is less anecdotal and more mathematical grounded than Chris Anderson (without being inaccessible).
Plus Kalevi Kilkki's got tons of interesting graphs. :-)

"I'm trying to get as much exposure as I can," Vola said before performing at the reception. That same day, 98.7 AMP Radio played one of his songs, and now keeps him in rotation.
Back in December, Vola's cover of Waka Flocka Flame's "No Hands" went viral. Lately, he's been in the studio churning out material, picked up a manager and slick business cards, and performed on stage with Waka himself.
"I was eating dinner at my friend's house when I saw my video blowing up," he said. "Since then, it's been a crazy ride."
Vola's "No Hands" is just shy of 2 million views; all of his videos on his YouTube channel have notched more than 3 million views. Waka's promoters took notice and reached out to him, asking him to perform with him during a concert in his Atlanta hometown.
"The people putting on that show thought it would be cool," Vola said. "I'd like to work with him again in the future."
Vola put out a new mixtape in March and says he's been working on an album with "a lot more original material." He's been on the road -- "I'm heading out to Idaho next week," he told me -- and working with other artists.
Keep up with Vola on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and his homepage. Here's his rendition of Nicki Minaj's "Moment 4 Life," which he performed at the aforementioned wedding:

Which phone to choose.. (Beijing)
I want to buy a cell phone but I'm a bit confused what to buy...
Some suggested me to buy an iPhone 5 but first I am not a mac person, second I make lots of file transfer between my phone and my PC which runs on a window system, so it seems that I can't do that with an iPhone.
I will basically use it for the following:
a) make phone calls
b) send text messages
c) synchronize my calendar and tasks between my office PC and my phone.
d) Transfer files from PC to the phone, mainly office files...
So I need to have office and windows mobile on the phone..
aside from that I will also install skype and msn if possible...
I made some research and I found those 3 compatible with my needs.
1) HTC One X
2) Samsung Galaxy S III
3) Samsung Galaxy Note II
They're almost the same except that Samsung Note II has a bigger screen, has a pen it's a lot easier to use but a bit inconvenient to carry as a phone...
About the speed, I am not sure which one is faster, some told me that HTC is a lot faster than Samsung... so I don't know... I have a samsung G3, and lately I installed wechat, and it became really really slow.... I don't know if Samsung Galaxy S III will be the same...
Anybody can give me an advice which one to buy??
I appreciate it

Further afield are St Michael's Mount, The Eden Project and the surfing beaches of the North Coast.

A woodland play area with an upturned boat, climbing wall, tree house, climbing nets and rope swings should help keep the younger (and even the older) ones busy. For peace of mind the woodland play area and pods are fenced off from the lakes and are only accessible through a wooden gate.
Our lodge house provides a small communal area with a large fridge, microwave, washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also a TV link to our barn owl, bat and bird box cameras as well as books, games and general information that all our guests are welcome to enjoy.

Celebrate National Women's Health Week, May 8-14, 2011
Healthy, strong women are essential to building healthy, strong children and communities, but too often women place the needs of others before their own. As a woman, mother, doctor and the new Director of the Office on Women's Health, I understand how busy we can be and how difficult it is to make time for ourselves and our health. Nevertheless, we need to make our health and wellness a priority. National Women's Health Week serves as a reminder to do just that and do so with small, manageable steps that will improve our health.
The 12th annual National Women's Health Week kicks off on Mother's Day, May 8th and is celebrated until May 14th with local events and activities —everything from 5K walks/runs to free health screenings to health fairs to fashion shows—nationwide. During this week, we encourage women to take the time to: get exercise; eat well; make healthy choices; visit a health care professional; and be mindful of our mental health. Even small steps towards good health can make a difference in our overall health and wellness. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Add just one fruit or vegetable to your diet each day. Chase your children around the yard. Park farther away from the store entrance.
During this year's National Women's Health Week, we will observe the 9th annual National Women's Checkup Day on May 9th. On this day, we encourage women to visit their health care professional for checkups and screenings. Regular checkups are vital to the early detection of diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer as well as infections and other illnesses. Across the country, hundreds of healthcare providers offer preventive screenings at no cost or at a reduced cost. If women aren't able to visit their healthcare professional on May 9th, we encourage them to take the Checkup Day Pledge and commit to scheduling an appointment this May.
We also recognize the importance of moving our bodies and encourage women to commit to regular exercise—whether dancing, running, and gardening—as part of National Women's Health Week.
This year, the Office on Women's Health is partnering with the President's Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition to support their program, The President's Challenge—a program that promotes the importance of moving every day and choosing a physical activity that you like so that you will stick with it. It's easy to sign up for a team, and once registered, you can set your personal activity goals, log your activity, and track your progress online.
Please celebrate National Women's Health Week with us and together, we can play a role in making health and wellness a priority in our lives.

The news about the Golden Globe winners were abuzz the whole week but it wasn't the only award the stars were after or rather avoiding. I'm talking about the best and worst dressed, entertainment shows all have their own but I'm exercising my fashion eye and here are my picks for best:
5. Halle Berry
My initial reaction is she looks amazing, that neckline is beautiful. People were commenting about the shortness of the skirt and the slit but I think its just the right amount of sexy.
4. Emma Stone
The color suits her so much and the simplicity makes her stand out from a crowd of overworked dresses.
3. Olivia Wilde
Oh my gosh I gasped when I saw this dress from Marchesa. Its big, bold, perfect for the red carpet and I love the statement shoes!
2. Anne Hathaway
In this dress by Armani Prive, she just shines. Its sleek and elegant, I love the puffy shoulders and its backless actually – love it.
1. Angelina Jolie
I know she's beautiful as is but look at her, she's so effortless and regal. This Versace dress sparkles during the live carpet show and its just amazing. Even the 'boxy' style works for her.
Moving on to the worst, in which I crossed off Helena Bonham Carter and Tilda Swinton technically because I think they always make this list anyway.
5. Julianne Hough
The dress is not so bad but that neckpiece is just too much especially for a petite girl like her. I feel like its swallowing her, the dress is wearing her not the other way around.
4. January Jones
Okay I love the color on her and her hair is beautiful but that top is just wrong. Its not too much skin but its a little off for my liking.
3. Scarlett Johansson
She looks like she aged 10 years! And she lost her figure, I don't like the hair either. This dress is just way too old.
2. Michelle Williams
Okay this floral dress from Versace I totally don't get. I know she's sweet and all but this is a fashion miss.
1. Heidi Klum
What the hell happened to her? She's a supermodel so there's no excuse. Its a mess and a bit inappropriate for a formal event. Its actually painful to look at.
So that's that. What do you think of my list?

U.S. stocks closed modestly higher Tuesday, snapping a three-day slump, as Wall Street fought off a fall in oil prices but continued to deal with the aftershocks of Monday's China-inspired rout.
The S&P 500 SPX, -0.04% closed 4.04 points, or 0.2%, higher at 2,016.70, after falling as much as 0.4% in the early afternoon. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.26% added 9.72 points, or less than 0.1%, at 17,158.66, recovering from a roughly 110-point drop in the early afternoon. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite COMP, -0.48% ended the day slightly lower, down 11.66 points, or 0.2%, at 4,891.43.
Modest gains on the S&P 500 were led by defensive plays, namely telecoms, up 1%, utilities, up 0.8% and consumer staples, up 0.7%. Information technology was the worst performing sector on the S&P 500, down 0.4%, followed by consumer discretionary, down 0.2% and materials, down less than 0.1%.
All three indexes opened slightly higher but turned negative in morning trade. Stocks extended losses in the early afternoon as oil prices CLG6, +0.00% plummeted 2.5% amid concerns about an expanding global supply glut. Stocks have recovered even though oil remains down.
Investors are still trying to make sense of what growing tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia would mean for oil prices, said Colin Cieszynski, chief market strategist at CMC Markets.
"Markets are confused," he said, as the early assumption was that hostile actions could disrupt supply, pushing price higher.
Now investors fear that political tensions could drive both countries to ramp up supply at a time when an economic slowdown in China would mean lower demand from one of the world's largest oil importers, he said.
Also read: Traders fret Saudi Arabia-Iran conflict may result in fresh flood of oil
Among individual stocks, oil companies were some of the top S&P decliners. Ensco PLC ESV, +0.12% tumbled 6.4%%, Transocean Ltd. RIG, -0.65% slumped 3.1% and Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc. DO, +0.23% fell 4.8%.
Gun stocks rallied for a second day as investors bet that new restrictions announced by President Barack Obama not only wouldn't deter sales but would propel them. Smith & Wesson US:SWHC shares surged 11% after the announcement and Sturm, Ruger & Co. RGR, -0.50% climbed 6.8%.
Overall, Tuesday's range-bound price action, in which the main indexes switched between small gains and losses, showed that "investors are working through a lot of conflicting things," said Kim Forrest, senior portfolio manager at Fort Pitt Capital.
On one hand, strong auto sales "were pretty much the bright spot last year…and we anticipate that, given the easy credit and the age of the fleet in the U.S., there will still be demand for new cars next year," she said.
Car sales were on track Tuesday for their best-selling month of the year and their best December ever as companies reported their sales. New-car revenue is expected to reach a record $58 billion for December, up 15.4% from a year earlier.
On the other hand, investors were still trying to figure out what weak Chinese economic data mean for U.S. growth, particularly since "many of the companies that most excited investors in the last couple of years, such as Apple AAPL, +1.52% had some element of China in them," Forrest said.
Apple's shares fell 2.5% Tuesday, down for a second session on continuing fears about slowing demand for the iPhone and weakness in China.
A surprise cash injection from China's central bank into the country's financial system helped stabilize Asian markets somewhat but failed to give global equities a sustained boost. Asian markets remained choppy, with the Shanghai Composite Index SHCOMP, +2.58% swinging in and out of losses before closing 0.3% lower.
On Monday, all three benchmarks posted steep losses, with the S&P 500 SPX, -0.04% marking the worst start to a new year in more than a decade. The moves in the U.S. came after a significant fall in Chinese stocks prompted a halt to trading, sparking a selloff in global equities.

Other markets: European stocks SXXP, -0.12% posted large swings and ended higher, while U.K. stocks UKX, +0.32% were boosted by mining shares, lifted by higher metals prices.
Gold US:GCG6 settled at a two-week high as tensions in the Middle East spurred haven demand.

Data: In a quiet day on the economic front, the main data were monthly car sales for December.
There are no Federal Reserve speakers on the docket. Investors instead are focusing on the release Wednesday of minutes from the Fed's Dec. 16-17 meeting, when it raised interest rates for the first in almost a decade.
Movers: Among individual car companies, Fiat Chrysler FCAU, +0.13% reported a 13% increase in car sales for the month, marking the best December for the company in 90 years. Meanwhile, Ford F, -0.12% sales rose 5% in 2015, to mark its best year since 2006.
FLIR Systems Inc. FLIR, -1.48% shares jumped 5.4% after Goldman Sachs upgraded the company from neutral to buy on Monday.
Gilead Sciences Inc. GILD, -1.21% gained 1.3% after the drugmaker late Monday said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted a priority review of its experimental hepatitis C combination drug.
Eli Lilly & Co. LLY, -1.23% gained 1.5% after the drugmaker offered guidance for 2016 that was below current FactSet consensus levels.

Tuesday, 15 November 2011 09:12 AM
On the contrary, at a meeting of Merkel's Christian Democrats the mood among delegates ranged from triumphalism over Germany's economic strength to complacency about the crisis and blind faith in Berlin's ability to shield Germany from it.
Merkel warned on the first day of the congress on Monday that Europe faced what could be its "toughest hour since World War II." But her message didn't register with many of those in the hall or with the German media. Much press coverage focused on domestic issues — the minimum wage, childcare and education.
"We're dancing on a volcano," said Oswald Metzger, a CDU delegate from Baden-Wuerttemberg who is deputy leader of the party's small and medium-sized business wing.
"Many of the people walking around here in Leipzig are divorced from the real economy and don't understand the euro crisis nor the risks we face."
Figures published on Tuesday showed the German economy grew 0.5 percent pace in the third quarter. Unemployment has fallen to its lowest levels since German reunification in 1990 and the smaller "Mittelstand" firms that form the backbone of Europe's largest economy have strong order backlogs.
Many say they are not yet feeling the crisis that is hammering Greece, Portugal, Italy and Spain.
The sense of invulnerability was fuelled by Germany's rebound from the global financial crisis. After suffering its worst annual post-war contraction in 2009, the economy bounced back sharply in 2010 on the back of robust exports and government subsidies that discouraged firing.
"Germany always comes out of a crisis well simply because we have competent leaders," said Eva Maria Meister, a social worker who runs a home for problem teenagers in Potsdam and spoke briefly with Merkel during her tour of the conference centre. "Merkel is always right. That's just the way it is."
The speakers in Leipzig contributed to the complacency, focusing more on Germany's strengths than the risks posed by the euro crisis.
Volker Kauder, who leads the CDU in parliament, told delegates that they should be proud of Germany's resilience, sparking loud applause.
"Germany will continue to be the motor of Europe. We will continue to compete, to create jobs — we are the ones that have done things right in this time of crisis," Kauder said.
A debate on education policy that followed his speech elicited much stronger reactions from the audience in the vast conference room than Monday's discussion on the euro crisis.
Asked by Reuters about the risks to Germany from the crisis, many delegates turned the discussion around, saying countries on the euro zone's southern periphery must solve their own problems by following the German model of fiscal discipline.
"Europe is speaking German all of a sudden, not the language but in acceptance of the policies that Angela Merkel has fought for so long and so successfully," Kauder said.
The reality seems quite different. Roughly 40 percent of German exports go to fellow euro zone members and a full 60 percent to partners in the broader 27-nation European Union.
The Mannheim-based ZEW economic think tank said weakening global trade and public debt problems in the euro zone and United States posed a major threat to German business activity.
"These risks could gain even more importance and thus could further harm economic growth in Germany," ZEW President Wolfgang Franz said.
Merkel tried to reinforce this message on Monday, telling delegates that Germany's own well-being was inextricably linked to the stability of the euro zone.
While delegates grudgingly accepted Merkel's message that Germany should accept closer European integration, they made clear this must be done on German terms.
Bolder steps to end the crisis — from joint euro zone bonds to stronger steps from the European Central Bank — were rejected by many out of hand.
It was unclear whether Merkel did enough in Leipzig to explain to the CDU rank and file what Germany must do to shore up Europe's single currency and preserve its own prosperity.
Italian bond yields have spiked back above 7 percent — a level which is widely seen as unsustainable. In Spain, borrowing costs reached their highest level in 14 years. And France, Germany's biggest trading partner, is far from immune.
"It's not cosmetic surgery but emergency medical aid that needs to be applied," said Peter Bofinger, a member of Germany's "wisemen" panel of economic advisers to the government.

HighPoint ships four-, eight-bay hardware RAID TB2 enclosures
Storage vendor HighPoint has announced the availability of the RocketStor 631xA eight- and four-Bay Hardware RAID towers. Each compact brushed-aluminum tower enclosure is powered by our HighPoint's RAID technology, and dual 20Gbps Thunderbolt 2 ports, which supports hardware RAID 0, 1, 5 6, 10, 50 and JBOD configurations.
HighPoint launches 16-drive NA338TB rack-mounted Mac mini solution
HighPoint technologies has launched a Mac mini server chassis -- the HighPoint NA338TB 16-Bay, Ultra-Compact Storage and PCIe Expansion Rackmount Solution. The NA338TB features a removable rear panel that can accommodate a complete Mac mini system, and -- with expansion card -- a 16-drive RAID in 0, 5, and 50 storage configurations.
HighPoint launches USB 3.1 PCIe adapter, two drive docks
HighPoint has debuted its next generation USB Host-to-Device storage and connectivity product lines, featuring 10Gb/s transfer speeds. The latest RocketU PCIe host adapter provides a USB 3.1 upgrade for any Mac or PC platform with PCIe slots. Additionally, the company's performance-oriented dual-bay USB 3.1 RocketStor 3100 Series Drive Docks support any industry standard 3.5- or 2.5-inch SATA hard drive or SSD, including the latest 8TB models, and provide USB 3.1 connectivity via USB Type-B and Type-C ports, depending on model.
RocketStor 5411D dock brings peripheral, drive sharing to LAN users
HighPoint Technologies continues to expand its USB 3.0 product portfolio, and has unveiled the RocketStor 5411D USB 3.0 Drive Dock and Hub. The palm-sized docking station combines multiple USB 3.0 ports, a card-reader, SATA drive dock, and universal charging station into a single device.
Review: HighPoint RocketStor 6324L Thunderbolt 2 to eSATA bridge
Like it or not, the shift to Thunderbolt is underway. The connection is extremely flexible, allowing for video and data to co-habitate on the fast-speed bus. The problem is that the introduction of new ports doesn't preclude the need to use old ports. Highpoint has a solution for those eSATA drive cases in the Thunderbolt 2 RocketStor 6324L host adapter for eSATA devices. Bridging devices for older connectors can be expensive, and sometimes its worth it to replace the enclosure instead -- does the value equation hold up for this speed-oriented adapter? Check our review to find out.
HighPoint reveals RocketStor 6451A Thunderbolt 2 connectivity dock
HighPoint Technologies has launched the "world's first" Thunderbolt 2-powered connectivity dock, the RocketStor 6351A. Each of the dual five-gigabit-per-second USB 3.0 ports and 6Gb per second eSATA port is powered by dedicated controller, allowing for peak speed for connected peripherals. Audio and Gigabit Ethernet ports round out connectivity options, with a pass-through Thunderbolt 2 port to daisy chain up to five devices downstream of the dock.
Briefly: New two-bay USB 3.0 drive dock, QNAP's new Turbo NAS models
HighPoint has announced the release of its third-generation, dual-dedicated, 5GB-per-second USB 3.0 storage dock, the RocketStor 5422A. Capable of supporting any off-the-shelf SATA SSD and hard drive, the dock is compatible with any performance level from SATA 1 to SATA III, supports 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch form factors, and hard drives up to 6TB in capacity can be accommodated. The RocketStor 5422A supports common Power Management features provided by Windows and OS X operating systems, such as Sleep Mode and Hibernation. Priced at $60, the drive dock is now available.
Briefly: Patriot's iPad, iPhone cases, HighPoint USB 3.0 storage dock
Patriot has announced the launch of three new cases for iPad Air, iPad mini and iPhone 5 family, featuring various polycarbonate designs. The SmartShell has an integrated polycarbonate casing with a microfiber material screen cover, providing 360-degree coverage with elevated bezels for screen protection. The FlexFit is thinner, and offers more basic scratch protection. Featuring a "Smart Sleep" function, the iPad enters sleep mode when the cover is closed over, and reactivates upon opening. Both iPad cases' covers fold into a multi-position stands for various viewing and typing angles.
Highpoint shows pair of Thunderbolt 2 SAS, eSATA converters
Storage and networking device maker Highpoint is adding a pair of new Thunderbolt devices to its product lineup. The storage connectivity vendor has debuted the eight-channel Rocketstor 6328L, along with the four-channel RocketStor 6324L eSATA and SAS Thunderbolt 2 adapters at this week's National Association of Broadcasters show.
HighPoint releases RocketStor 6328 Thunderbolt 2 RAID adapter
One of the first hardware RAID adapters for Thunderbolt 2 has popped up on the market from accessory maker HighPoint. The RocketStor 6328 features seven RAID configurations, supporting SAS and SATA hard drives and solid state drives.

Cirrus creates Lightning-headphone dev kit
Apple supplier Cirrus Logic has introduced a MFi-compliant new development kit for companies interested in using Cirrus' chips to create Lightning-based headphones, which -- regardless of whether rumors about Apple dropping the analog headphone jack in its iPhone this fall -- can offer advantages to music-loving iOS device users. The kit mentions some of the advantages of an all-digital headset or headphone connector, including higher-bitrate support, a more customizable experience, and support for power and data transfer into headphone hardware. Several companies already make Lightning headphones, and Apple has supported the concept since June 2014. http://bit.ly/29giiZj
Apple Store app offers Procreate Pocket
The Apple Store app for iPhone, which periodically rewards users with free app gifts, is now offering the iPhone "Pocket" version of drawing app Procreate for those who have the free Apple Store app until July 28. Users who have redeemed the offer by navigating to the "Stores" tab of the app and swiping past the "iPhone Upgrade Program" banner to the "Procreate" banner have noted that only the limited Pocket (iPhone) version of the app is available free, even if the Apple Store app is installed and the offer redeemed on an iPad. The Pocket version currently sells for $3 on the iOS App Store. [32.4MB]
Porsche adds CarPlay to 2017 Panamera
Porsche has added a fifth model of vehicle to its CarPlay-supported lineup, announcing that the 2017 Panamera -- which will arrive in the US in January -- will include Apple's infotainment technology, and be seen on a giant 12.3-inch touchscreen as part of an all-new Porsche Communication Management system. The luxury sedan starts at $99,900 for the 4S model, and scales up to the Panamera Turbo, which sells for $146,900. Other vehicles that currently support CarPlay include the 2016 911 and the 2017 models of Macan, 718 Boxster, and 718 Cayman. The company did not mention support for Google's corresponding Android Auto in its announcement. http://bit.ly/295ZQ94
Apple employees testing wheelchair features
New features included in the forthcoming watchOS 3 are being tested by Apple retail store employees, including a new activity-tracking feature that has been designed with wheelchair users in mind. The move is slightly unusual in that, while retail employees have previously been used to test pre-release versions of OS X and iOS, this marks the first time they've been included in the otherwise developer-only watchOS betas. The company is said to have gone to great lengths to modify the activity tracker for wheelchair users, including changing the "time to stand" notification to "time to roll" and including two wheelchair-centric workout apps. http://bit.ly/2955JDa
SanDisk reveals two 256GB microSDXC cards
SanDisk has introduced two 256GB microSDXC cards. Arriving in August for $150, the Ultra microSDXC UHS-I Premium Edition card offers transfer speeds of up to 95MB/s for reading data. The Extreme microSDXC UHS-I card can read at a fast 100MB/s and write at up to 90MB/s, and will be shipping sometime in the fourth quarter for $200. http://bit.ly/294Q1If
Apple's third-quarter results due July 26
Apple has advised it will be issuing its third-quarter results on July 26, with a conference call to answer investor and analyst queries about the earnings set to take place later that day. The stream of the call will go live at 2pm PT (5pm ET) via Apple's investor site, with the results themselves expected to be released roughly 30 minutes before the call commences. Apple's guidance for the quarter put revenue at between $41 billion and $43 billion. http://apple.co/1oi1Pbm
Twitter stickers slowly roll out to users
Twitter has introduced "stickers," allowing users to add extra graphical elements to their photos before uploading them to the micro-blogging service. A library of hundreds of accessories, props, and emoji will be available to use as stickers, which can be resized, rotated, and placed anywhere on the photograph. Images with stickers will also become searchable with viewers able to select a sticker to see how others use the same graphic in their own posts. Twitter advises stickers will be rolling out to users over the next few weeks, and will work on both the mobile apps and through the browser. http://bit.ly/29bbwUE

Curious to know what the web has to say about a person, place or thing? An amusing tool searches Google and shows you what website owners think about the name or topic you enter.
Google is well-known for trying to understand the web's "opinion" about web pages, using this information in part to determine search results. It does this by analyzing links, which are considered to be "votes" by the web community for particular web pages.
Googlism takes a much more simplistic approach. Rather than looking at links, Googlism tries to find web pages with text that fits the form, "So-and-so is…" or "Such and such is…" To learn the web's "opinion" of something, simply enter your search terms, and click a radio button to select "who," "what," "where," or "when."
Googlism then returns a list of comments extracted from web pages found by Google, related to your query. The results are interesting, and often hilarious. Try entering your own name, or those of your friends. You'll likely be surprised by what you find.
Unfortunately, Googlism shows only the extracted text related to your query, with no information about the underlying web page on which it was found. For many results you can find the source by cutting and pasting the text and throwing it into a Google search box (remember to quote the string so it will find an exact match). Your results will include the actual web page the quote appears on.
Call for Speakers – Search Engine Strategies Toronto
I'm looking for two case study speakers for the Campaign Case Studies panel at the upcoming Search Engine Strategies conference in Toronto, on May 11-12. Here's the description of the panel:
"Come hear real life examples of how companies have marketed themselves via search engines. Presentations cover both improving traffic from free organic editorial listings and through paid listing campaigns. Learn what worked for them and make it work for you."
I'm specifically interested in companies that are either based in Canada, or who have run campaigns for companies selling Canadian products or services. Panelists should be from a company that either does search engine marketing in house or outsources it to a search marketing firm.
If you work for a SEM firm, it's OK to suggest one of your clients. But it will be the client that will do the presentation, and other than mentioning your firm, the presentation must be focused exclusively on the search marketing campaign, not on the work of the SEM firm.
If you'd like to attend the conference and share your experiences on this panel, we'll provide you with a pass to attend the full conference — a C$995 value (you'll still be responsible for your own travel and accommodation).
If you're certain you can attend the conference, please use the contact form with the subject "Toronto Case Study" and tell me about your background and what you'd talk about. I'll be accepting suggestions through Friday, March 19.
Again, please only contact me with suggestions if you're certain you (or your client) is able to attend the conference. Thanks!

Should THQ be diversifying to help spread the risk and lift themselves out of the financial pothole in which they found themselves last year? Not according to new president Jason Rubin. For Rubin, the way forward is simple: it's all about triple-A.
"I think when you look at the business and you model it out, it's not how many failures you have, it's how many successes you have," explained Rubin. "So the problem is when you don't create hits or you don't create titles that do really well. The reason that THQ is here is because Saints Row is really successful. You have to create titles that sell copies and do well and that's what we're going to focus on. I'm not going to worry as much about the ones that don't do well.
"You can only lose everything, but you can make an infinite amount of money. So there's a significant amount more upside than there is downside. You can't fail at everything all the time or you're done."
Rubin's plan isn't to downsize the company's ambitions in terms of the games that they produce, but rather to trim the fat and hopefully build a portfolio that equates to excellence, with an attitude that is "less cavalier" and far more cautious.
"One of the things I plan on doing is making a much more concise portfolio." he continued. "I will not expand into the money I have because I want to keep this money around for a rainy day. So THQ is going to be a lot more careful with what it does and a little less cavalier. You won't be seeing another uDraw. We're not going to be doing side projects in mobile or casual. You're not going to see that stuff."
Rubin says that he's not concerned with the mobile and tablet gaming markets at the moment, affirming that triple-A will become THQ's sole focus for the time being.
"There will come a day where the tablets are extremely powerful and capable of running games," he said. "I think Company of Heroes, as an RTS with its control mechanism, is much easier to move onto a tablet than something that requires a dual stick and a significant amount of controls. It's just inherent. So could a Company of Heroes or something along those lines end up on a tablet soon? Absolutely. Do I think that there is going to be a Saints Row on a tablet? In the immediate future, no I don't. Eventually? Sure, if we can figure out the control issues that are obviously inherent in core gaming. Tilt and touch doesn't really work that well. There are a lot of opportunities." [GII]

Lindsay Lohan won't pick a place to complete her court-ordered 90 days of rehab until the very last minute, sources say. "She's a drama queen. She feeds off this last-minute frenzy," one insider said. The troubled actress has to check herself into a rehab place by next Thursday, reports The Post's Richard Johnson, or appear in Los Angeles Superior Court with her lawyer Mark Heller. "She'll probably go to rehab on Wednesday night, so she can avoid coming to court," said our source. "She likes to wait until the 11th hour, or even the 12th hour." For her last Los Angeles court appearance, LiLo waited until there were no more commercial flights, and then flew from New York by private jet, arriving at court about an hour late. And she was 45 minutes late on Tuesday night to "Orphans," Alec Baldwin's Broadway play, arriving, spies said, on the arm of patient Saudi movie producer Mohammed al Turki.

Wayne, Ill., Aug. 26
When Alice Tarjan saw a picture of 3-day-old Somer Hit on Mo Swanson's website, she thought he might grow up to be something special. He's proved Tarjan's suspicions correct, and Somer Hit topped the 6-Year-Old Markel/USEF Young Horse Dressage Championship today with a score of 8.05—the only horse to break into the 8s for a final score in his age group. Cesar Parra rode Simply Nymphenburg to second (7.79), and Roberta Carelton took third (7.67) on Kir Royal.
The judging panel for the FEI 6-Year-Old Finale test (Axel Steiner, Gary Rockwell and Natalie Lamping) gave Somer Hit a 7.9 for his trot, a 7.8 for his walk, an 8.0 for his canter, a 7.6 for submission and a 7.9 for general impression for a 7.83 in the Finale test. Somer Hit's FEI 6-Year-Old Preliminary test, worth 40 percent of the overall total, scored much higher (8.38).
"It's a lovely horse. I don't think it was his best test today," said Lamping. "We know there's a lot more in there. He has a nice, elastic trot, however you were a bit conservative with the mediums and the extensions."
Tarjan, Oldwick, N.J., agreed that the stallion's test today wasn't as strong as Friday's.
"I was pleased I got through it," she said. "I think it was a little flat compared to Friday's test, but I'm thrilled with how the horse went."
Parra, Whitehouse Station, N.J., thought the footing might have contributed to lower scores overall. With a steady rain falling throughout the day, riders were careful to avoid missteps in the competition ring.
"They were slipping, and it was hard to take a chance, otherwise Alice would have taken a bigger lead, I think," said Parra. "Her horse is so wonderful."
But Parra also complimented his own mount, a Hanoverian (Sir Donnerhail I—Wendy) owned by Michael Davis.
"He's a wonderful horse," said Parra. "The moment I saw him, I fell in love with him. I was thinking about that as we were going around the ring, thinking, 'OK, here we are now.' "
Tarjan and Somer Hit, a Hanoverian (Sandro Hit—Rhussia), also competed at the Championships when the horse was 4. Her friend, Lauren Chumley, took over for the horse's 5-year-old season.
"We've had our challenges," said Tarjan, who also finished second in the 5-year-old section yesterday. "He's a great horse. He's come a long way, but we have a long way to go. We take it ride by ride."
Roffman Gets Another Championship On The Record Books
Caroline Roffman is no stranger to good placings at the Markel/USEF Young Horse Dressage Championships and the USEF Developing Horse Championships. She won the USEF Developing Horse Prix St. Georges title with Her Highness O today. Last year she placed second in the USEF Developing Horse Prix St. Georges Championship with Pie and second with Bon Chance in the 6-Year-Old Markel/USEF Young Horse Dressage Championship. She won the 5-Year-Old Championship with Bon Chance the year before. But it's not just the titles that make Roffman happy; she likes the process too.
"Pie, Bon Chance, this mare—they're all horses I've developed myself. It makes me feel really proud of what we're doing at home," said Roffman, who runs a training business with Endel Ots. "I'm hoping to stay on track and go in the right direction."
Her Highness O won today's Developing Horse Prix St. Georges with a 73.33 percent, finishing on a total score 72.57 percent over Emily Wagner and Wakeup (69.90%) and J.J. Tate with Faberge (69.76%).
Roffman, 23, owes the ride on Her Highness O, a Hanoverian (Hohenstein—SPS Wild Lady O) owned by Roffman and Jennifer Lind, to the Young Horse Championships.
"A breeder came up to me a few years ago when I was riding Bon Chance here and said, 'I have a horse; I'd like to sell her. I like what you did with that horse.' The mare had had four or five foals, and she had a mane down to her shoulders," said Roffman, Wellington, Fla. "They'd just weaned her, so she didn't look like a sport horse at all. She'd been broke as a 3-year-old for her approval, and that was it. It was a long time before I knew what I had. She's really, really talented, and what she lacks in ability she makes up for in heart. She's hot, but she has a brain."
Wagner, 24, and Wakeup are successful graduates of the Markel/USEF program. They won the 6-year-old title here last year. Wakeup, an American Warmblood (Wagnis—Maiden Montreal) stallion, was the highest-placed U.S.-bred horse this year in the USEF Developing Horse Prix St. Georges Championship.
"I was super happy with him," said Wagner. "He was fresh in the sense that we had that one little bobble in the serpentine. I don't blame him for it. I think at the end of the show he gets a little mentally done. But he came back to me, and he rode with me. He's coming into his own. Everything still feels raw, but it's coming."

Today is Valentine's Day-- a celebration that has become increasingly popular around the world. As in past years, conservative religious authorities in some countries continue to express their opposition to the occasion. In Coimbatore, India, members of the All India Youth Federation have petitioned police for protection, according to yesterday's Deccan Chronicle. The group says that every year, religious parties and other protesters gather in city parks and elsewhere where young people meet, and try to catch them and force them to marry in public places.
In Indonesia, according to today's Tengri News, the country's largest Muslim organisation, Nahdlatul Ulama, says it does not want to ban Valentine's Day, but it should not be celebrated by teenagers. The Head of the conservative Islamic Defenders Front went further and declared the day "haram" (forbidden) for Muslims, saying it reflects the culture of "infidels."
According to OnIslam, in Pakistan, the head of Jammat-e-Islami, the country's largest Islamic party, said: "We are going to observe February 14 as Hijab Day in all over the country, especially in the educational institutions in order to show to the world that the people of Pakistan totally reject this custom, which is a direct attack on the culture of modesty."
Meanwhile, according to Chicago's Daily Herald, in Illinois, supporters of same-sex marriage hope that the state Senate will use today to pass and send to the House a bill permitting same-sex marriage.


text: hey folks, I need some advice on a google problem that I can't figure out. I made a site around a keyword - approx 5 articles, all containing the keyword phrase, at first I was going from 145 to 135 on a not very competitive keyword phrase, but then my site disappeared - it's still indexed(site, but not listed anymore for any keyword I tested... Actually, I just tried to search for a sentence (exact match search) thats on one of my pages, and google found NO sites at all. The page containing the sentence is indexed though... The main keyword phrase that I wanted to rank for has about 60k searches, however the last google search page says its only about 500pages - still, I could not find my site within these 500 results! I hosted that site on 000webhost, I think 3 problems could have been the cause: the poor uptime, the fact that my homepage that had teasers of my articles on it had 12% keyword density (did only check the articles themselves but not the keyword density of the homepage, maybe thats why many people advice to use a static site as frontpage...) I've installed a plugin to translate my pages into a lot of different languages, maybe thats a bad thing since google doesn't know what the primary language is supposed to be. I did some link building(no massive spamming..), lowered my keyword density, but can't get my site to show up in the serps again... really weird. Anyone ever had a similar problem? It's been about a month and nothing happened. :/ Google webmaster shows no error. needless to say that I'm afraid to promote a site that I did put a lot of effort into if I get those bombastic results and don't know what I did wrong... thanks guys

On the morning of September 11, 2001 I was saying goodbye to my mother who was in the later stages of Alzheimers in a nursing home in Jonesboro Arkansas. My husband and I were girding for the long ride back to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario where my 17 year old son was waiting at home for us. Then the planes hit the towers. Before I'd had time to recognize the enormity of what had just happened Harold said he had to step out. He returned a few moments later with gas and as much money as the bank machines would give him. We drove across the US in silence listening to NPR all the way. We did not take photos or record our experience but every part of that journey is branded on my memory.
Shortly after 9/11 Rob Walker and his girlfriend set out on a road trip from New Orleans to Virginia and she took photos of the symbols of patriotism that sprang up after the tragic event. The result is an accidental time capsule of a unique time in American history.

SCC and HP agree new strategic investment to grow substantial networking business
SCC, the leading pan-European technology integrator, has agreed to a strategic investment programme over the next two years to grow a substantial HP networking business.
SCC, the leading pan-European technology integrator, has agreed a strategic investment programme over the next two years to grow a substantial HP networking business. The agreement underlines SCC's market leading position with HP and its expertise in selling network solutions that meet the end customer's business needs.
The investment includes new recruitment involving 'building a dedicated and specialist sales resource and both recruiting new and training existing technical expertise', explains Andy Wright, SCC's Director for Vendor Alliances. This will extend and strengthen SCC's networking capabilities as part of a long standing strategy to enrich and extend its infrastructure services.
Andy Wright adds: "Increasingly, the network infrastructure is not keeping pace with the growth in applications to be a competitive differentiator. Our customers both private and public stand to achieve significant cost savings, reduce TCO and purchase price and use their network resource more effectively by taking advantage of new opportunities, such as unified communications. This will help to release business potential and create competitive edge."
SCC already has a strong track record in the corporate UK market place for providing unified communications solutions having invested heavily in its capabilities and successfully grown a multi-million pound business. The new agreement with HP to develop its network business is the latest move to meet changing customer needs and help deliver strategies to cope with the new demands being made on their networks.
Alan Ryan, who runs SCC's networking business, explains: "The network must be able to fully support both the organisation and new technologies, including unified communications, AV or VoIP, to achieve real competitive advantage. Today, employees have become accustomed to being part of an 'always-on', perpetually connected culture and the ability of an organisation to rapidly adopt emerging technologies is now a real expectation.
"We understand these market drivers and when aligned with our customer experience in the UK market, our strong technical skills and an ongoing investment in our networking capability, we are strongly positioned to maximise our customer's operational effectiveness, reduce their cost base in the long term and align the IT strategy to that of the business to release its full potential."

text: So I've been at this whole online money making thing for about 8 months now and things are going well for me overall. However, there is one site that has been bothering me this whole time. It's about 100,00 pages each with a unique article. These articles are broken up across about 20 main topics, each with 5-20 subtopics. So, the site structure is the main page links to the main topics, that page displays 10 articles at a time with the option to go to "next page", and these topic pages link to the subtopics which again have a link to all the articles 10 per page. Each article has 12 links to other articles, 6 that are surrounding articles according to database ID within the same topic, and 6 that are random from the same topic. I've built at least one link to every topic and subtopic page. Then another 20 or so (more like 100 total but I'm only counting decent quality/not duplicate domains) to the main site. After a couple months when I do site:mysite.com Google says they have 4,000 results for the search. However, clicking through to the end shows that after 350 or so the index ends. The only way I can think to get this site indexed is by building links to every 3rd article directly or something like that. However, I'm not sure how I could build 30,000 links that Google would even credit as being legitimate or worthy of indexing the page linked to. Can anyone recommend some methods or at least outline what I need to accomplish in order for this whole site to being indexed or nearly indexed? I've heard of social bookmarking, etc but again I don't see how I could submit 30,000 of my articles without weeks of labor or hiring someone else.

Asia 1997 vs. Asia 2013
It seems all too familiar. Currencies are plunging. Current account deficits are widening. Central bankers are tripping over themselves to settle markets.
So is this the 1997-98 Asian Financial Crisis redux?
For one economist who lived through the crisis, history isn't repeating itself just yet.

Speaking of hashing and the media (the subject of several recent posts here at the Half-Mind Weblog), here's a wonderful article about hashing with an unfortunate headline, "A Drinking Club with a Running Problem."
Photo from article (click on it to link to the article)
What I like about it is that the author simply describes hooking up with hashers in Nice and going on a run: how it happened, what the trail was like, the people he met. It's the first article about hashing I've read in years that makes me want to get out and go hashing. It's refreshing. What a concept, just describing a hash run and some of the wonderful things we've all experienced on trail.
Unlike other reporters, this gentleman doesn't copy paragraphs from Wikipedia or my own hash primer and quote them without attribution (a thing that happens all the time, and that I whinged about in a previous post). No, he wrote this from scratch, and made it real.
One of my favorite parts of the article:
During the walk-run itself, I got a look at some of the most beautifully famous (and famously expensive) real estate in the world, from vantage points most tourists never bother with. If it hadn't been for Francis and his hashing friends, I almost certainly wouldn't have. If my "nice little walk by the beach" had turned out to be anything but, it also turned out to be a potentially life-changing experience.
I remember trying to tell squadron-mates about the Okinawa HHH when I was stationed at Kadena Air Base in Japan. "You'll see parts of Okinawa no other American will ever see," I told them, thinking of runs through back alleys in Naha City where we'd passed old-time wooden homes with rice-paper panels where kimono-clad women were making tea and playing the sanshin.
At the time hashing was new to me, and the most amazing thing about it was the way trails got you off the beaten path. That aspect of hashing still shines like a beacon to me … and here's a writer, as new to hashing today as I was in 1989, who totally gets it!
Damn, though, I wish those fools in Nice hadn't infected his brain with that "drinking club with a running problem" bullshit.

Last week the weather stations were forecasting freeze warnings. The nights were cold and some in the lower Susquehanna valley did a freeze, but not me. The garden had a touch of frost, but nothing that killed all of the plants.
While the growing season is coming to an end, I like to know when a light frost and a killing frost have hit the garden. Over the years I learned that there's one plant that'll let me know what's been happening in my yard and it's much more accurate than any weather report. That plant is basil.
At this time of the year I find that basil doesn't have quite the same flavor that it did in August and early September. But I always leave at least one basil plant in the vegetable garden to use as a frost indicator. Basil is very sensitive to cold weather. The lightest frost will cause some of the plants leaves to turn from green to a brown-black color. There is no way that you can miss the effects of frost on a basil plant.
While there was talk of freezing weather, the vegetable garden only got a light frost. I could tell because only the top of the basil plant was brown while the rest looked fine. Pepper plants right next to the basil were untouched – even though they're sensitive to frost, they're not as sensitive to it as basil.
You can spend a lot of money to set up a weather station to monitor the high and low temperatures in the garden. But if you just want to know when the first frost has come, you can't go wrong with basil. You can enjoy this herb all season long and then use it as a living weather station that will let you know when the first frost comes to your location.

Four years ago Gary Keyser was kicking around the Keys hoping to go into business when some treasure salvors invited him on a dive off Plantation Key. He put up 100 bucks for gas for the boat and by the end of the first day he wondered why he had bothered. Still, the next day he went again, and lo and behold brought up what divers had missed for years -- a bronze blunderbuss valued, he says, at about $10,000.
Keyser, whom one easily can visualize with a scarf tied `round his head and a sword strapped to his waist, hoisting a line or shouting orders from the bridge of an ancient galleon, still recalls the excitement of that first find.
``It was on a ship called Capitana or La Capitana el Rui or El Rubi Segundo. These ships often go by several names,`` he says. ``The ship had been worked by divers for 30 years. It`s in relatively shallow water, about 20 feet. But it`s buried under at least 6 feet of sand.``
The boat Keyser was on was equipped with a prop wash to blast away the accretion of centuries. It was after one of those blasts that he spotted a suspicious shape protruding from the sand ridge. He dove, retrieved the blunderbuss and forevermore the air-conditioning man from Iowa was hooked on treasure diving.
To hear him talk, there`s nothing to it. And to prove his point he has published a 20-page booklet giving the location of 19 Spanish galleons sunk off the Keys in July 1733. Of course, there are no revelations here; nearly all the sites have been pinpointed previously and most have been worked off and on for years. But Keyser`s guide, Finding the Spanish Treasure Galleons of the 1733 Fleet, compiles it all neatly in one place for those who might like to try their hand at salvaging if not gold, at least relics.

Homes | Villas
Private homes and villas in Turks and Caicos represent a vibrant market in Island real estate, with the majority of opportunity being in Providenciales. Popular 'pockets' of villas and homes are in Provo's Sappodilla Bay, Chalk Sound, Long Bay and Leeward areas (note that there are very few villas located directly on Grace Bay Beach), with most offering sensational ocean views and/or direct beach access. While ocean front and beachfront is most often desirable, Turks & Caiocs homes and villas with elevation and views are also popular throughout the island and have proven to be good income producers as well. You may also want to consider some of the outer islands – North Caicos, Middle Caicos, Pine Cay, Parrot Cay, Dellis Cay, Ambergris Cay – which each offer their own unique advantages to home real estate ownership and real estate investment. Let our experts at Turks and Caicos Sotheby's International Realty help you decide on the best location and property if a second home or villa investment is what you are interested in.

Dear Guy Who Doesn't Flush the Toilet at the Library During Finals Week,
Hey, man. How's it goin'? Pretty Busy, huh? Probably got a ton of finals and, like, a "wicked" paper due tomorrow that you barely even started, huh? I understand that you're busy, but could you please do the male population of this library a huge favor and push down the little metal lever that is located at the top of the urinal? Actually, you can push it down, or up, or push it horizontally away from your person, or vice-versa. I recommend you try all of these methods until you find one you have become comfortable with. I understand where you're coming from, by the way, ever since I saw "Goonies" at the age of nine, I've been nervous about flushing a public toilet for fear that there are a scrappy bunch of rapscallions searching for pirate treasure beneath me, also, for fear of a "backfire". Trust me, you have nothing toworry about. Now, I'd like to address your diet. It appears that you are dangerously dehydrated. I recommend skipping that littleRed Bull can and getting a large bottle of water next time you're at the local camupus foods store. Trust me, your body will thank you. Also,of concern is your urine's pungent smell, you might want to see a doctor about that. It was so bad last night I couldn't even stand to be around it long enoughto flush after myself.
In conclusion, I hope that I have been able to persuade you to do us all a little favor and flush the GODDAMNED toilet after EACH use, you worthless PIECE. Thank you,
Your Campus
