First, I WANTED TO THANK YOU!!!
for stopping by whenever you make it. I know I haven't been posting, but things are a bit chaotic for me at the moment as I settle into a different routine with new commitments and responsibilities. I hope to return to blogging more regularly really soon. I have several books I've read and loved that I need to review as well as more giveaways I need to organize. There are also a few things on my mind that I'd like to talk about--just need to organize my thoughts and find a way (and time) to talk about them.
Second, I WAS INTERVIEWED!!!
Alison Miller recently interviewed me for the Write Brained Network, an online community for writers in every stage of their writing careers. It's a brilliant community, one of which I'm proud to be a part. I encourage you to check out this community HERE and join in. It's a great way to meet other writers and gain some insight on all aspects of writing and publishing. And if you'd like to check out my interview by Alison, she posted it HERE on her blog. PLEASE do stop by. Seriously. I'm begging you. Not only is Alison a beautiful person with a remarkable writer's blog that I know you'll love to visit (and follow, k?), my self-confidence is on the line here. Also, I divulge secrets.
Third, I'M TALLYING UP ENTRIES!!
for my last giveaway (DAUGHTER OF SMOKE AND BONE, ASHES, and SHIFTING). I'll post the winners HERE, just adding them to the original giveaway announcement post as I've done with my last couple of giveaways. I think (hope) it makes it easier for people to find who the winners were, as well as ensuring that anyone who comes upon the giveaway post in the future knows it has already closed. But please give me a couple of hours (right now it's 10 AM EST). It takes a long time to tally up entries and randomize them for a drawing.
So, stop by the ANOTHER GIVEAWAY post after 12 PM EST to find out the winners.
If you didn't get a chance to see who the winners were of my last couple giveaways, those are posted here at the end of the original giveaway posts:
Two ARC Giveaway (POSSESS and THE UNBECOMING OF MARA DYER)
4 ARCs 4 U Giveaway (FURY, THE SCORPIO RACES, NOCTURNE, and SHELTER)
I'm humbled by all of you who continue to stop by my blog time and time again, commenting, entering giveaways, and just giving your general support with your presence. It's an honor. Many, many thanks.

I think in some ways, it's better to post winners on the original giveaway page, but sometimes, people forget to check; they (meaning "we" or "I" [not that I'm self-centered or anything :P]) prefer the winner in a fresh blog post, so we don't forget to check.
I don't mind. Do what you please. Good luck to everyone who entered!

Land Snakes Alive
Land Snakes Alive is a Jacksonville Zoo conservation initiative designed to involve our zoo-going guests in the discovery of snakes in their natural habitat on zoo grounds. Snakes are animals that very few people are neutral about. We would like everyone to see that snakes have a unique and necessary position in wild ecology, and are not bad to have around.
Periodically, wild snakes make themselves visible as they move about on our zoo grounds. When snakes are spotted, guests can tell a zoo staff member, who then calls herpetology staff on the radio.
Staff members then come with a field kit ?and handle the snake right there with the guests, answering any and all questions. Each snake is identified by species, and is then checked with a microchip reader to see if it has already been captured as part of the program. Previously captured or not, field data is collected next. Each snake is weighed using a hand-held field scale, probed to determine sex, and measured using a folding ruler.
A microchip is then inserted for future identification of recaptured animals. All of this information is recorded on our Land Snakes Alive "capture logs" along with the temperature, general weather description, and the location where the snake was found. We also record any significant scars or markings such as stubbed tails, missing or marred scales, etc. Once all of this pertinent data has been recorded, the snake is released very near where it was found (although not directly on the public pathway).
If the snake turns out to be one that was previously captured and microchipped, collection data is still very important. By weighing and measuring the snakes at each capture, we can determine how much the snake has grown since we last found it. By checking where it was found, we can track each snake's movements throughout the Zoo grounds. Our chips also allow us to check the snakes' body temperatures to see at what temperatures they are most active.
In our first year, we have captured and "chipped" 58 individual snakes of 7 different kinds. We have also recaptured 10 of the original 58 snake a total of 26 times. Clearly some of these snakes are not at all put off by a little human interaction.
There are even some snakes that are found on grounds that are too small to be able to microchip. These are released without entering them in the program. Some are young and may be big enough to chip the next time they are caught, and some are just a type of snake that stays too small for chipping, such as Pine Woods Snakes and Brahminy Blind Snakes. Young and old, zoo-goers have been thrilled to watch our herpetologists in action as they process these interesting reptiles.
Stay alert and maybe you too will get to participate in Jacksonville Zoo's Land Snakes Alive program. Please remember that the snakes on zoo grounds are wild animals and may only be captured or handled by our trained zoo staff members.

Yesterday I went to Low Yat with my Rose (my girl) to survey for HP and Asus Laptop. She follows me because want to accompany me, and that's why I love her so much. Back to the main topic, I'm looking for these two brand because I trust their authority and product. Asus laptop have quite reasonable price for very high specification and HP very cool design. After a while, I found the laptop I want to buy in December at PC Fair which Asus UL50VT or Asus UL80VT. These two model meets the requirement I need which have 8 cells battery, fast processor, 2GB DDr3 memory, dedicated memory for graphic (Nvidia) and other specification.
Then we went to Berjaya Times Square just looking around to kill the time. After a while we went back to Serdang but stop at Sg Besi for Bihun Sup, among our favorite dish, yum-yum…slurp…. Last 2 week, she bring me to that place and now I found a place that serve best Bihun Sup. By the way, both of us enjoy eating so ..heheheheh..

Earlier this month, HTC announced two new mid-range smartphones, the HTC Desire V and Desire VC. These handsets runs on the Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) Operating System. The HTC Desire V is the company's first smartphone with dual-SIM capabilities. HTC has not yet released this smartphone in any of the major markets, but we have good news for the folks living in India. Flipkart, the popular online retailer has already started selling this handset, even before the company has officially launched it in India.
HTC Desire V features a 4 inch HVGA display, sporting a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, 1 GHz Cortex-A5 Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) Operating System, HTC Sense 4.0 UI, 5 megapixel rear camera with auto-focus and LED flash, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, 3G Connectivity and much more.
Other features include a 3.5 mm headset jack, Beats Audio, 512 MB RAM, 4 GB internal storage, MicroSD card slot, 32 GB expandable memory, Stereo FM radio with RDS, 25 GB free cloud space from Dropbox for 2 years, Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities, A-GPS, Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP, USB 2.0 and a 1650 mAh battery.
Sadly, this handset does not come with a front-facing camera for video calls. The HTC Desire V is currently available in polar white and stealth black colors. Flipkart is currently selling this device with a price tag of Rs.21,999 (approx. $390). You will also get an 8 GB Sandisk memory card for free with the purchase of this device.
We know that the price is too high and the device does not offer any extraordinary features. We would recommend you to wait for the official launch, since the device will be available at a lesser price at your local retail store. Alternately, you can buy the BlackBerry Torch 9860, Motorola Atrix 2 or Intel powered XOLO X900 which are available in the same price range. You can even get the powerful Samsung Galaxy S II or Nokia Lumia 800, if you are willing to spend a few thousand more. To get this handset, head over to this page at Flipkart.

Carrera fires back at McNulty, says GOP told right deadlines but dropped ball
Mario Carrera, the unaffiliated chairman of the panel drawing new state legislative districts, responded in writing today to the volley against him Thursday in which House Speaker Frank McNulty accused him of being unfair to Republicans.
Carrera said that, quite to the contrary of McNulty's allegations that he did not allow Republicans an opportunity to present maps countering Democratic plans, GOP map drawers were given full notice they could submit final maps by Nov. 27. Republicans have pointed to emails between staff and members of the commission in which it appears Republicans were told they needed to submit maps by Nov. 23 but Democrats were told they could submit additional maps by Nov. 27.
But Carrera pointed to an email from Amanda King, a legislative staffer, on Nov. 25 to Cameron Lynch, a Republican map drawer, in which she asked Lynch if Republicans would be "submitting amendments over the weekend."
Lynch replied, "I don't believe so. Might get a commissioner with a wild hare but I doubt it."
King replied, "Okay. Thanks. If you do end up submitting any additional plans after 5 p.m. today, would you please send me a text at [number redacted] so we can come in this weekend to process it. Thanks."
Lynch emailed back: "Absolutely."

A static web site is written in HTML with CSS and sometimes Javascript. Here each page is a separate document and there is no database that saves the contents in or pulls the contents from. What this means functionally is that the only way to edit the site is to go into each page and edit the HTML – so you'd either have to do it yourself using a webpage editor like Dreamweaver. You must have some programming skills to do it or you need to pay us to go in and edit the site each time you wanted something changed.
A dynamic web site or a Content Management System / Ecommerce platform is written using a server side scripting language, like php and uses a database like mysql. You have more options with such a web site. For instance, you have an area, a back office, a back end, where you can log in and change various parts of the site, such as adding information, images or products. This is because each page is constructed based on the information in a database, and the information in that database can be changed via a graphical admin interface.
Dynamic sites can reduce ongoing maintenance costs if you don't want to change things yourself with a webpage editor or with the HTML. They usually cost more to develop, as they require more complex coding and a content management utility needs to be developed to help you manage your website information.
Another benefit of dynamic sites is that they allow you to change only the content of the site and not the design, so you will not be able to accidentally break the visual style of the site. They have other benefits when sites start to get very large, as they make data management much more efficient and your site more expandable.
Static Website is a good and economic solution for Landing page and Specific Opt-in Page!
A customer relations management system put all the pertinent client information in one central location that is easy to update and easy to see when other's updated. All communication can be kept in one spot, nothing gets lost and you can now see and share with the rest of your team. Many advanced features allow you to forecast your business and get analytics. If you opt for Zurmo ad example, you can use your CRM to send mass mails and newsletters to all your prospects and customers. Many CRM are only for Paid users with sometimes very expensive subscription. We believe in Opensource solutions. That's why we only offer free CMS (Zurmo+Suite CRM). We will install and configure anything to run your CRM, importing all your contacts in your new platform. If you decide to use our hosting services to host your CRM, then we will give you a life time guarantee thanks to our continuous maintenance and assistance.
When you decide to get your website hosted by us, and you bought the guarantee option, you automatically benefit from lifetime guarantee. That means that any issue arising on your website will be repaired by our technical team without any extra fees.
Our Lifetime guarantee is valid only if you didn't modify the core files of your website or if didn't do any change on the design structure from the time we deliver your website to you.
It's a bit like the guarantee you have on smartphone. If after your purchase and our delivery you decide to open your website, to change its component or to modify its core files, you loose our guarantee!
For only few bucks you get a very strong hosting platform for your website coupled with Lifetime guarantee for your website. We are very proud to offer this valued Service level agreement at low cost!

WordPress covers 95% of the needs. Its the most easy and suitable CMS for Small and medium Companies. In our opinion, it is the best choice for most of the websites e.g. Forbes, CNN, Sony, Disney, Bloomberg Professional , BBC AMERICA, The Rolling Stones, are only some of big companies using WordPress.
Joomla is the best choice if you need to create a social Network, a Magazine/Media Portal, a classifieds website. Joomla is quite friendly users but it's less intuitive than WordPress.
Drupal is a very powerful CMS and very secure. It's mainly recommended for techy owners and complex websites. We will recommend to use Drupal in very few cases.
Low Cost Web Agency operates on WordPress, Joomla and Drupal. If you don't have particular exigences, we will recommend you after your purchase which platform /CMS is the best choice for your website. You are always free to pick whatever CMS you want.
Absolutely yes!
A responsive and mobile friendly website is not anymore an option today. Google Search will not show in top rankings websites which are not fully responsive and Mobile Friendly. So a part if you ask us for some old school design only for desktop users (highly improbable), we will provide always design that are adaptive to any mobile device.

atlkaren needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 63 designs submitted by 23 freelance designers.
The logo will be used on both the website and product packaging – rectangular bars, round cakes, tubes, etc.
Desired Color Scheme:
open to any suggestions
Desired Style:
Not too country. Looking for something natural, minimal, and maybe industrial looking. Simple – but with style and flair. … maybe quirky.
Use minimal to no gradients please since logo will probably be on Kraft paper packaging.
Accepted File Formats:
Naturally Essential currently sells handmade soap and bar shampoo. In the future we may branch into additional beauty products (e.g., lotions, bath salts) and other natural products (e.g., handmade paper, note cards).
Only natural ingredients are used in our products locally produced where possible. Product packaging will be minimal in order to save our natural resources.

Despite the fact we all have amazingly complex supercomputers in our pockets capable of the most amazing feats of gaming, able to entertain us with rich streaming media and with full access to the internet's most amazing wealth of information, what do we all use them for the most?
The weather. Looking at the weather. Checking the weather. Taking photos of the weather. Letting strangers see how amazingly detailed our mobile weather forecasts are, updating others on the weather and, occasionally, stuffing them down our pants to avoid them getting ruined by the worst of our weather.
No one likes taking an umbrella out with them or putting on the less fashionable waterproof coat unless it's absolutely necessary, so you might want to use your quad-core powerhouse to warn you of the external conditions before setting out.
As luck would have it, as well as the feeble weather app that shipped on your phone, some of the cleverest software developers on the planet have created numerous apps designed to let you know the probability of getting your shoes wet this evening.
Here, for your meteorological enlightenment, are the 10 best weather apps for Android, iPhone and Windows 8 smartphones.
1. AccuWeather for iPhone - free, for iOS
AccuWeather has long been one of the unofficial kings of the weather app scene, thanks to offering some great, detailed, and completely free weather forecasting apps.
Its current iPhone weather station is incredibly well featured, including severe weather warnings, a huge 15-day maximum forecast range, integration with the iOS Calendar app for weather stats right there up in your business, plus social sharing and very clever animated maps. It's positively streaming sunlight into the App Store.
2. Weather Live - 69p, for iOS
Weather Live takes more of a stylish approach to forecasting, losing some of AccuWeather's nerdy features in favour of a simple, clean app, presented in a modern, tech-barometer format.
Its full-screen layout animates its pretty backgrounds beautifully, presenting pressure, visibility, rain and humidity data on its lovely clock face. It also displays the correct temperature on its home screen icon, too.
3. Weather+ - free, for iOS
A very cute little thing offering an HTC-like flip clock above its weather status reports, which tell you about wind speed, humidity, pressure and more, alongside custom location settings letting you voyeuristically spy on weather in other parts of the world.
There are even some nice little widgets, breaking it down into simpler displays that just give you the basics if you're only a casual weather fan.
4. Met Office Weather application – free, for iOS
The UK's famous bearer of bad news has an incredibly complex app out for iOS (and also Android and WP), offering our familiar weather warnings, long range forecasts and more.
The app gives out five-day forecasts covering over 5,000 UK spots, using geo data to automatically find the exact tree you're hiding under. It also gives you the "feels like" temperature and wind speeds, so you know if you need to jumper-up for the dangerous run to the newsagent.
5. WeatherBug - free, for Android
This one claims to pull in data from the "largest network of real-time weather sensors in the world" to tell you how much it's likely to rain, converting its stats into incredible detailed "real-time" forecasts.
Some of the severe weather features are for the US only so aren't that useful to us, but it's still a comprehensive app, plus there's also a custom layout option in here for those using an Android tablet.
6. WeatherPro - £2.49, for Android
For the Pros out there, this offers seven-day forecasts updated at three hour intervals. You'll never be without weather-related small talk with WeatherPro.
The app also gives you "feels like" data for more realistic guides, sunset times, rain radar maps and more, all packaged in an extremely stylish app that includes some classy Home screen widgets, too.
7. Yahoo Weather - free, for Android
The big search company also does a fine weather app, with its complex tool offering some beautiful transparent widgets, even supporting Android 4.2's new lock screen widget system.
Another big selling point is the inclusion of crowd-sourced photos, which pulls in some great snaps from users via Yahoo's Flickr imaging portal. It's not the most detailed weather app, but it's definitely one of the prettiest.
8. The Weather Channel - free, for Android
The Weather Channel's app takes data to the next level, offering hourly updates and even breaking it down into simple "plain English" alerts. If it thinks it's going to rain at half past four, it'll tell you as much.
The app also goes 10 days out into the future with its long-range predictions, with some really, really nice, clean widgets to jazz up your Home screen. It's another gorgeous app.
9. WeatherLive – free, for Windows Phone
The tiled layout of Windows Phone is well suited to little bite-sized snippets of weather trivia, with WeatherLive coming complete with full support for Microsoft's information grouting system - and that all important extra-wide tile for properly adapting the layout.
The app itself offers simple, clean, 2D weather maps, plus little trend graphs, moon phases, radar and satellite imagery. It's a nice, smart tool.
10. Amazing Weather HD - £1.49, for Windows Phone
Another gorgeous and minimal weather app for WP8, Amazing Weather HD does a grand job of portraying clouds in a simple style.
This one also supports the full size range of Microsoft's live tiles, plus the app provides seven-day forecasts, radar, infrared and satellite pictures, GPS location finding and more.

In 2011, there was a cleansing of sort in the social bookmarking/sharing world. Some of the larger social news sites over the past four years (e.g., Mixx and Yahoo Buzz) were retired and another (Digg) was on a serious decline. Let's dive deeper into the changes, trends, successes, and audiences for the 2012 social bookmark landscape.
The 'Social Bookmark Site Swing'
As you can see from the above graph from late 2010 thru June 2011, Digg was the clear social news/bookmark champion. Digg controlled the lion share of the social front.
Mixx and Yahoo Buzz were still contributing content members (no pun intended) as well. This trend continued through about mid 2011 when Digg began to lose share, while Mixx and Yahoo Buzz closed up shop. By the end of 2011, Reddit, Stumbleupon, and Pinterest (a 2011 new entry) began to emerge as dominant players in the social news/bookmark space.
Notice a trend here? All the sites that outgrew the old channels were more community based with stronger visual ties (with the exception of Reddit). Pinterest and Stumbleupon are both strong visual social news sharing portals, whereas Reddit prides itself on a strong organic community base.
Who & How to Social Share in These Channels in 2012
"Know thy audience." Now more than ever, it's of the utmost importance to cater the social sharing of content with the audience that will listen and engage with it.
Reddit Audience
The Reddit audience is predominantly male (70 percent), 61 percent of viewers are between 18 and 34, and 62 percent of the audience makes roughly $60,000 a year or more, according to comScore. The type of content you would share with the Reddit audience should be vastly different from the content you would share with a Pinterest viewer.
Ideas for Success
Ideas should include funny and/or original pictures or honest cutting-edge content perspectives on current events to spark conversation with others. Strong comments and following up on posts in this medium are critical to engaging the audience.
Another approach to try is asking for honest product feedback from Redditors who have interest in your marketplace. Microsoft is a perfect example of a company that succeeds with this tactic. Reddit is made up of real people who watch the site closely and want to keep Reddit as an organic, social sharing community.
Campaign Success Example
Microsoft, a company that has had brand issues in the past, reached out on Reddit and asked for feedback about its IE9 browser back in 2010 and was greeted with a lot of engagement from Reddit.
Pinterest Audience
A Pinterest audience is predominantly female (68 percent), 57 percent of viewers are between 18 and 34, and 57 percent of the user base makes at least $60,000 annually, according to comScore.
Ideas for Success
Pinterest is based on online scrapbooks and pictures that you share with people. You build your following similar to Twitter and Facebook by following and friending people.
Some ideas to spark interest could include a vacation scrapbook you could share if you were an online vacation booking engine, or a scrapbook of images to share about a day trip to Disneyland. If your business is a food site, you might try creating a recipe scrapbook to spark engagement with the Pinterest user base.
Campaign Success Example
Whole Foods is an organic food company with brick-and-mortar retail stores. It has had great success on Pinterest. Whole Foods built scrapbooks for followers around recipes, creative holiday projects, kitchen designs, and eco-friendly practices. Here's a link to the company's Pinterest account where you can review its approach and success.
StumbleUpon Audience
A StumbleUpon audience is predominantly male (60 percent), 60 percent of its viewers are between 18 and 34, and 58 percent of the audience earns $60,000 a year or more, according to comScore. The type of content you would share with this audience should differ vastly from what you would share with a Pinterest viewer.
Ideas for Success
This audience is heavily based on visually stimulating content; in general visual content achieves the best results. Heavy content doesn't do as well on this medium as say Reddit.
Interesting infographics, interactive pieces, and videos all do well on this medium. Think about an interesting piece like a timeline graph (perhaps something about Whitney Houston, which is topical right now).
Campaign Success Example
The University of Phoenix took advantage of education trends in an interesting interactive piece that was picked up by StumbleUpon.
With a change in the landscape from last year to this one, the keys to success for social bookmarking sites in 2012 revolves around:
- Understanding your audience (demographic data).
- Creating content that fits the medium you're targeting.
- Looking at the successes of other brands and emulating or building from it.
- Seeking out and engaging with users in the mediums who could become brand advocates.
- Researching emerging trends and behaviors that might trigger the next round change for new social sharing news sites going into 2013. (Good sources include Google Trends and comScore)
Taking these factors into consideration will lead to more success and hopefully more viral sharing on other media, along with additional traffic and link equity for your sites and web pages.

You are probably one of three people.
1) You might be a fan of NBA Jam and NFL Blitz fun, over-the-top arcade games masterminded by a guy named Mark Turmell. If you had to guess what his first game for his new bosses at FarmVille juggernaut Zynga would be about, you'd probably guess "something about sports" and you'd be wrong.
But to you, we'd point out, you can be "on fire" in this new game—this, uh, evolution of bubble-popping classic Bust-a-Move called Bubble Safari.
2) You might be a fan of Zynga games, in which case you're used to games that you can play for free on Facebook and keep on paying or waiting in order to go further. Uh-uh. The rules are changing with Bubble Safari. Zynga and Turmell are calling this a Zynga Arcade game. You can play as long as you'd like, as long as you keep winning. It'll cost energy points to play each new round of the game, but you get your energy back if you win the round. No more waiting for a recharge or paying to hurry it up.
3) The third option might be that you think Facebook games are stupid or a scam or something. You might disdain this stuff. Well, consider the following: Bubble Safari is Turmell and co.'s acknowledged riff on Bust-a-Move. They take the classic shoot-similarly-colored-bubbles-at-other-bubbles mechanic and add in special trick shots and an NBA Jam-style "On Fire" mode. (He says to us: "Even though the genre has been around for long time there is so much room for innovation: Different ways to scroll, new hazards... when I thought about bringing the boost bubbles [think: trick shots] and the on-fire mode so you can go into the rack and do massive destruction and combine that with match-3, I think that is really magical.")
"I think it's important for players to lose and be challenged," Turmell told me. "That's unlike a typical social game."
Bubble Safari, skeptics, is the first Zynga game, they say runs at 60 frames per second.
It is indeed designed for skilled players and—you might like this best—it doesn't coddle you. You can't buy your way to success. Yes, Zynga will sell you bonus bubbles to shoot if you've fired all the pre-set bubbles that were offered in a level, but the game will only let you make one of these purchases per level. Or if you fail a level but want to spend energy to continue? You can only do that once. "I think it's important for players to lose and be challenged," Turmell told me. "That's unlike a typical social game." God bless this man.
Zynga won't say if the game is a response to the super-popular Bubble Witch Saga, which has been tearing it up on Facebook with its own riff on Bust-a-Move. Turmell only points out that he joined Zynga last August (he'd been at EA Sports). What he will say is that this isn't it for him. He's loved Bust-a-Move for a long time, but we can still think of him as a sports guy, too. "It's certainly in my core," he says of making sports games. "That's definitely something that's in my future." It's just not in his tomorrow. Tomorrow is launch day for Bubble Safari. If you're on Facebook then, give it a shot.

Sir Cliff set for return to charts
Sir Cliff Richard looks set to return to the charts just over a week after finding himself at the centre of a police sex abuse investigation.
Fans of the veteran pop star have been showing their support by buying copies of his 1992 number seven hit I Still Believe In You and it is less than 500 copies off the Top 40.
Midweek sales figures released by the Official Charts Company put the track at number 43 today (August 20).
Sir Cliff announced yesterday that he was pulling o ut of a charity event at Canterbury Cathedral on September 26, with his spokesman saying the star " doesn't want the event to be overshadowed by the false allegation and has therefore withdrawn".
The singer's apartment was searched by officers from South Yorkshire and Thames Valley police last week as part of an investigation into an alleged sexual assault on a young boy at a religious event in 1985.
Sir Cliff, who was in Portugal when the search took place, has firmly denied any wrongdoing.
Fellow showbiz veteran Cilla Black has rallied to his defence saying she thinks allegations that he sexually assaulted a boy in the 1980s are "without foundation".
In a statement, Cilla said: "Cliff is a very close friend of mine and has been for a million years.
"I, like everyone else, was shocked to hear of these allegations and I am absolutely positive that they are without foundation."
The veteran pop star was also due to be handed the keys of his adopted Portuguese home city Albufeira - the city's highest civic honour - but decided over the weekend that he should pull out of today's ceremony.
It is understood that he did not want the allegation to overshadow today's event in Albufeira as other local individuals and organisations were also set to receive awards.
Sir Cliff bought his first villa on the edge of Albufeira in 1961. He tends to spend most of the summer in Portugal, flying out after Wimbledon and usually staying until September. His current home is the third villa he has owned in the area, and is located in the small town of Guia.
The raid on the pop star's Berkshire penthouse caused controversy when the BBC broke news of the search, with a film crew reportedly arriving on the scene before the police.
The corporation's director-general Tony Hall and chief constable of South Yorkshire Police David Crompton will face a grilling by MPs over the affair, and the force's police and crime commissioner has launched an independent review of what happened.
Mr Crompton and Lord Hall have been warned to stand ready to give evidence to the Home Affairs Select Committee (HASC) after Parliament returns from recess.
Committee chairman Keith Vaz has written to both men asking a series of questions about how the BBC found out about the planned search, and asked them to reply by midday on August 22.

WonderCon 2012 Exclusive: HULK Under 'Mayan Rule' in 2012
We've all heard by now that the end of a 5,125-year-long cycle on the Mayan calendar — happening on Dec. 21, 2012 — could mean the end of the world as we know it. There was even a John Cusack movie about it a couple of years back, as sure a sign of legitimacy as any.In the Marvel Universe, the 2012 phenomenon is very real, and one being dealt with in the pages of Hulk with the story arc "Mayan Rule," starting in June's issue #53. To combat the return of the Mayan Gods, the Red Hulks allies himself with heroes including A-Bomb, the She-Hulks, Alpha Flight and Machine Man. And speaking of Alpha Flight — Dale Eaglesham, former artist on that series, is joining Hulk series writer Jeff Parker at the start of "Mayan Rule." Newsarama has the first interview with both creators on the upcoming story. Newsarama: Jeff, you've worked with quite a few artists at this point on Hulk, all with their own different strengths, but what's unique about what Dale brings to the series?
Jeff Parker: Dale has a world-sized imagination, and that's what you need in a story about the return of ancient gods. Also it's mostly set in a lush jungle environment, which he kills at with his classic adventure sensibilities. He makes wild sci-fi look utterly believable. And the characters are gorgeous! We get pretty excited when Dale pages roll into the inbox.
Nrama: Dale, what are you looking forward to in coming aboard Hulk? For an artist, how exciting is the type of visual possibilities inherent in a series like what Jeff's been doing and a title character like Red Hulk?
Eaglesham: It's very exciting for sure – not only do I love Mayan history, imagery and culture, but drawing any version of the Hulk is a blast as well. I'm like a kid in a candy store with this arc!
Nrama: I'm not sure if you two have ever worked in the past, but instinctually it seems like a natural pairing. What have you liked about collaborating with Jeff thus far?
Eaglesham: I've been hoping for an opportunity to work with Jeff for a while now, so that made the project even more appealing. Jeff is a treat to work with — he asked me right off the bat what I like to draw and incorporated it into the story. He gives me lots of room and that's allowed me to actually add storytelling panels, which I've very rarely had room to do over the course of my career. He even gave me a few pages as plot only so I could choreograph a fight scene.
What I really love about his writing is that no matter what is happening, he finds that emotional undercurrent in every scene and and it feels genuine. When emotional content isn't driving the scene it makes an impact at character level. A-bomb, a scary looking monster, comes off as caring and sensitive. That's real story craft.
Nrama: The plot of the Mayan calendar meaning the end of the world in 2012 seems like practically a no-brainer to incorporate into a comic book, but I haven't seen anyone else do it. Jeff, what can you say about the inspiration behind bringing that to Hulk?
Parker: I felt like if any industry had to address the Mayan calendar issue, it was comics, and especially Marvel Comics. And for the aggressors in this story, it's not the end of the world, it's the end of our world and the return of theirs!
Nrama: The story incorporates a lot of interesting characters, mainly ones that are a little lower on the radar, like Machine Man and Alpha Flight. How did you go about picking the characters for this story? And between this and the many characters you've worked on in Thunderbolts, do you find that you have a natural fondness towards the less-featured Marvel characters?
Parker: I thought it would be cool to have Dale transition over with the characters he was just drawing, and that readers might appreciate it too. We also want to show you can have a big blow-up event without the usual cast.
Nrama: Dale, do you enjoy that challenge of handling multiple characters at once and having it all "make sense" on the page?
Eaglesham: I do, actually. I love team books. Large casts can get exhausting but a large palette of characters to choose from is the penciler's delight. I especially like it when I get to work with a team book for a while, on a monthly rather than just an arc. I like to have the time to develop each character to their fullest potential, and I mean to a point where you begin to discover all their little quirks that make them unique. Alpha Flight was such a joy to work on — fun, varied characters. I really wish it had become a monthly and that I could have stayed on it!
Nrama: And to focus on the title character, there have been a lot of different artists who have put their own spin on Red Hulk in the past four years or so. I'm sure you're looking to bring your own distinct take on the character, but is there any interpretation that has influenced you more than others as you work on the book?
Eaglesham: Not really, no; I've been doing my own thing. Bernie Wrightson's Captain Sternn story from Heavy Metal magazine. It's an amazing short story, and if anything's influenced the approach I take for Hulk and Red Hulk, it's that.
Nrama: Hulk is now very close to its 50th issue, and clearly continuing on beyond that — Jeff, as you approach your two-year mark on the title, how proud are you to see the character continuing to last and endure as an important part of the Marvel Universe?
Parker: Very proud. I want to thank our readers for pushing the book as they have. I think we've pulled off some great tales in Hulk!Got a comment? There's lots of conversation on Newsarama's FACEBOOK and TWITTER!
