The New Girl and Big Short actor talks about dropping out of college, hanging with Prince, and whether there's life after Schmidt.
Many New Girl fans first met Max Greenfield as the show's neurotic, sex-obsessed Schmidt, who, in its first season (in which Zooey Deschanel's character Jess—the "new girl"—moves in with three male roommates, of which Greenfield plays one), is so prone to offense and shirt removal that his roommates keep a Douchebag Jar nearby in which he has to deposit money for each of his frequent and flagrant violations of common decency. Which was some funny shtick, but shtick all the same. Six seasons in, though Schmidt retains his vanity and compulsiveness (and, for the most part, his shirt), the writers have deftly added substance to the seemingly surface-level Schmidt, complicating his character mostly through a narrative that involves him longing for and ultimately marrying Jess's best friend Cece (played by Hannah Simone).
In that time, the 36-year-old Greenfield too has grown up—today he's busy being a husband and dad (to a six-year-old daughter and one-year-old son), and popping up in movies like Hello, My Name is Doris with Sally Fields, Ice Age: Collision Course, and Academy Award darling The Big Short. But since he'll always be, in part, tethered to Schmidt, we caught up with him at the beginning of show's newest season to see what comes after (and during) life as everyone's favorite anal, cardigan-wearing, heart-of-gold-having roommate.
I've always wondered this: Do you sit down and watch each episode of New Girl?
Every once in a while. We improv a bunch on the show, so it's fun to see what bits they use. Like, "Oh my god, I can't believe they used that." [It's] like 4:00 in the morning and you're shooting a scene and you're bleary-eyed, out of your mind and you're watching an episode, and you're going, "I don't remember any of this."
Does your daughter watch the episodes?
She's too young. She doesn't care. Every once in a while, she'll be like, "Can I see you on TV?" So she'll get a minute of it. But then she's like, "I'm done. Put on my show."
Steph Curry said his daughter knows he's "Daddy" when he's at home and "Steph Curry" when he puts his jersey on. Does your daughter keep your two identities separate like that?
We'll be out a lot and people will come up and want to take a picture or say something, and she used to just look at it like, "What the fuck is happening?" And now, somebody will come up to us and I'll be like, "I don't know, I'm with my kid right now, I feel a little awkward," and she'll be like, "Oh, Daddy, it's fine. Just take a picture." She totally gets it. It's a weird dynamic. But she seems pretty savvy about the whole thing. For a six-year-old.
Must've been fun doing Ice Age, since she's right in that demographic.
Yeah, she was fired up. Though I feel like she was placating me a little bit when she saw the movie. She was like, "Daddy, you did such a good job." I was like, I don't need your validation. I wanted you to like the movie.
What's one thing you didn't realize you were into until you had a daughter?
Having a daughter. You don't know how you're going to react to having a child and then you're like, "I wonder if I'll be into this." And I couldn't be any more [into it]. Now I have a son too. Couldn't be more done. But so happy with these two idiots.
It's got to be easier the second time around, though, right?
No, no. It makes everything so much harder. Oh my god. Having two kids is like having 1000. It's just scheduling, moving around, being mobile. It's a whole thing now.
Is the show appointment viewing for your parents?
Oh yeah, they'll watch anything. They're heavily into Google Alerts.
That could be a disaster.
Well, luckily I'm so unbelievably boring. Knock on wood that nothing will ever come up that's too bad.
Have they ever called you and been like, "What were you doing in that episode?"
They're so shocked that I have a job and I'm employed, they don't care what I'm doing.
Did you act in high school, or while growing up?
A little bit, yeah. I just felt like actors—I watched a lot of SNL, and those guys just seemed like they were superheroes, that that wasn't a reality for anyone, other than people with superhuman strength. So I mean, I acted a little bit in high school but the idea of doing it professionally was just never really an option. And then I moved to L.A. and it felt much more tangible out there. And I had nothing else to do at that point. I had sort of dropped out of college, and I thought, "Well, I have no other options. I might as well do what I really want to do."
What'd your parents say when you dropped out?
So pissed. So mad. But I think they were just terrified. I knew what I wanted to do. It wasn't like I was dropping out like, "I'm not sure." I was like, "I'm gonna try to be an actor." I think they just, statistically, were like, the odds of that happening are very slim. I'm sure they thought, "How many years is he going to waste before he decides, 'Oh, this is not going to work,' and then what does he do?" It's a scary thing.
And for a time there, you were bouncing around and doing a bunch of different shows. Was there any pressure from them to move on?
No. My parents were the best. They were very supportive. Obviously, I think they were scared about it too. But for me, it was a real back-and-forth thing where you'd get so close that you would know that you must be doing something right; you'd also get so close and not have it happen so many times that you felt like maybe it's never supposed to happen. So we would go between the two things, and then we had our first kid and I thought: "I can't do this anymore." And I was really sort of on the verge of trying to find something else and then got New Girl. Really crazy.
Would you change the trajectory of your career? Do you think early success would've been bad in any way?
Early success is really scary. Especially in acting. I think your 20s is such a fucked up time in your life anyway. You're trying to figure out who you are and you're trying to find your own voice or trying to figure out what you even want from your life. The odd part of it is every day you think you know the answers to all those questions and you don't know anything. It's a really troubling time, and it's confusing time, I think probably more so than any other time in your life.
"We're all like a married couple. The five of us. I wouldn't put two specific people. But probably Jake [Johnson, who plays Nick Miller] and I are the closest thing to a married couple."
And I feel like if you were successful during that period of time, you might really freak out. 'Cause you're still dealing with all of those things. Success doesn't answer any of those questions. So I think that's why you see a lot of those actors or actresses who are in their 20s, or maybe like in their late teens, these fucking meltdowns, you're like, "Yeah, they're just normal people doing what normal people do but on such an elevated level and every mistake is intensified to such a degree." So they freak the fuck out. And that's totally normal. Like, when you're not famous you can freak out privately and nobody gives a shit. So yeah, I think having some success later on, maybe in your 30s, is maybe the right move. And for me, I would not change a thing. As frustrating as that time was for me—and it was very frustrating—I would not change a thing.
So what changes in your 30s? Is it that you know the answers to those questions, or that you know you don't know?
I think you have a much clearer idea, especially being a parent, you get a much more distinct picture of what life is. And how you wanna lead it, and how little of it has to do with you and your needs or wants at all. And once you're kind of able to put that aside, and, I don't know, sort of let life happen, it's a lot more fun that way and a lot less stressful.
So does the onscreen marriage with Cece every carry over offscreen? Are you like an old married couple because you've been doing this together for so long?
We're all like a married couple. The five of us. I wouldn't put two specific people. I think if you were gonna do it, probably Jake [Johnson, who plays Nick Miller] and I are the closest thing to a married couple. I don't know how many more years I can do it.
That warms my heart to hear that is genuine, because it comes across in the show.
We'll complain about each other until the day the show ends, and then a month after we'll be like, "God, I miss that asshole."
Who on the show is most like their character?
I think we all have a little bit of the character in there. I'd say it's like 25% each.
So what of Max is in Schmidt?
I think a lot of the neuroses. Style-wise, we've gone in very different directions.
How so?
I just feel like it's gotten a little buttoned-up. There are a lot of days where I'm like, "Oh man." [I] put on this whole getup, sitting around all day with a buttoned-up shirt, a buttoned-up cardigan, tight, buttoned-up pants. Man oh man. You really feel like, "I'm in a costume today."
What's the one thing you miss about the time when you were an actor no one recognized?
Nothing. I was so unemployed. I'm so happy I have a job. If the worst thing that happens is a bunch of people want to take pictures, great.
Are you wary of getting to a point where you can't go out?
[laughs] No. No one cares. I'm not a Beatle. Nor am I going to be. I promise you that's not going to happen.
Do you worry at all about getting pigeonholed into the Schmidt "type"?
People just watch shows differently [now]. So, when, like, Roseanne was on and you had to watch it live, 50 million people would tune into to see an episode. Whereas we get 2 million people, probably after TiVo or DVR it bumps up to 5 or 6 [million]. I think we have like a very solid fan base and in that fan base, I'm probably pigeonholed as Schmidt, but I don't think it translates so completely. And then beyond that, I've tried to do some different stuff that hopefully shows that it's not all I can do.
But I don't really worry about it. There have been moments where I've been up for movies and where it's been really strong political films and really important films and the roles that I've been up for have been smaller and I remember feeling like, I don't think I want to be a part of this film because the five people that are going to go see the movie and go, "Hey, look! Schmidt!" and take that person out of what the movie is supposed to be. [That's] not something I want to do.
Any movies in particular?
I was not offered the role or anything, but they wanted me to come in and audition for Selma, and I was like, this is not for me. This is an important film that I really want to see, and that people should see, and I think it's a bad move for somebody to be watching it and for them in the middle of it to be like, "Oh my god, that's Schmidt."
You were sort of in the Schmidt role when you played the shady mortgage broker in The Big Short.
I begged to be in that movie. I was really excited about it. It was Adam McKay and everyone I wanted to work with. And I also felt like what I do on TV actually lends itself somewhat to this guy and this world. The juxtaposition of the insane cast that was already set, like [Steve] Carell and Ryan Gosling, these huge movie stars—and not to belittle myself in any way—but to have a sitcom actor as the mortgage broker shit-bag, just such a tonally different thing, was exciting to me. I don't know what I read for, but there were some other roles that they were looking for and I really wanted to play that guy. I was like, "Hey guys, I know you are looking for these other [roles]. I don't think I'm ready for that. What if you put me in that?" And they all looked at each other and they were like, "That's a good idea."
Did you do any research?
So much. I swear to you. We shot two days on that movie and I did more research for that fucking movie than any other part I've ever done. And probably will do. Because you had to learn a completely different language. For what was like a three- or four-page scene, our character, myself and Billy Magnussen, were like, explaining to Carell and his group what was happening. So I felt like I needed to have such an awareness and understanding of what we were doing, so that I could play the scene and so that if they asked us to improv or go off at all, which Adam does, I was like, I need to be on point. And I'm not smart. Let me tell you something: I had to read so many books. I met with like four real estate agents and mortgage brokers and was just going, "Please explain this to me because I'm having so much trouble." I finally feel like I got to it. It was like studying for a test. And the day after, it was all gone.
You guys had Prince on the New Girl set.
It was the coolest. We were shocked up until the second he showed up because we were like we don't know that he's actually going to be here.
Because you thought he just might not show up?
Yeah, who knows? At some point he could just be like, "You know what? I don't like the weather." And not come to the show. And then he was there and we were on set with him.
You do a sitcom for a long time and there are moments when you're doing it, and maybe it's not as popular as it once was, or another sitcom comes along, or you're not fucking Veep, and you're on network television, you don't always feel like you're on the coolest show or you're doing the coolest job. And forever, because he did our show, you can't ever say that our show is uncool or what we did was cheesy in any way. It's like, "Fuck you, man. Prince did our show."

The price of Bitcoin will rise, but mass adoption won't happen16th September 2017
Bitcoin price to "explode", but mass adoption "will not happen" , — said the chief economic adviser to Allianz .
Speaking at a segment of Squawk on the network media CNBC Mohamed El-Erian said that bitcoins should cost half or one third of its price at $ 4,000.
"The current pricing policy involves a mass acceptance, and I don't think the government will be allowed everywhere to legalize cryptocurrencies", — he explained.
"I think that the price will rise, but I think it will exist, only because this currency peers."
El-Erian joins an increasingly loud debate about the future of Bitcoin after China spooked the markets, unfounded claims, he will forbid the exchange, and CEO of JPMorgan Jamie Dimon called Bitcoin a "Scam".
Dimon also suggested that the only "constrained" use of Bitcoin will be the currency of p2p, in particular for Venezuelan citizens, North Korea and drug dealers.
"Bitcoin exists in this world," said El-Erian, "But the current prices assume mass adoption that will never happen".
Increasing divergence in perspectives between the traditional financial bosses and followers of cryptocurrencies such as John McAfee, Max Keiser and investor Jeremy Liv, who did the projections for the high price of bitcoins quite significantly.
As of printing, Bitcoin, meanwhile, has lost 5.3 percent over 24 hours to falling below $ 3,500. On Wednesday, the analyst Tone Vays suggested that
"the ideal level for shopping" will be 3000 USD, where strong support and that he "doesn't think the rate will go down further".

Dear France,
Stop being bigoted assholes.
That's our job.
* Huh?
Dear France,
Stop being bigoted assholes.
That's our job.
* Huh?
Looking at those ankles gives me a hard on…..
Gotta call you on this one Nick.
Muslim is a religion, not a race.
Not all who are "Arabs" are Muslim, and not all Muslims are "Arabs".
There are white, black, Asian, and Indian/Pakistani who are Muslim.
And there are "Arabs" who are Christian, as well possibly other beliefs.
I think "oppressive", is the word you might be looking for.
"Bigoted" might be better.
But yeah, I know that Muslim isn't a race. (The same with Latino/Hispanic.)
I really can't stand a race/religion that justifies rape and murder as the womans fault. Honor murder, no matter where it is done is wrong. Raping women and girls for being tempting and the society accepts and allows it is proving that the male is nothing more than an animal.
Now many will point out that happens here in 'Merica and I shouldn't single on those poor people but I am and I do. I don't care if you are French, Swedish, African, American, Middle Eastern or freaking Antarctican. A murdering rapist is a murdering rapist no matter what and a society that accepts that as not only a norm, but a right should be "politically corrected". Why do people point at white males and yell Misogynist all the time but others don't seem to rate that wonderful label. they get a get out free card for some reason that I fail to fully understand. When you think rape and your first thought is American college than hand in your feminist card.
Sorry Nick but I had to rant because too often political correctness is only aimed at white males. As an American and a grandchild of immigrants (no I'm saying where from because I'm not from there.)It really chaps my red, white, and blue ass.
humans are not a "race"… there are just some with better suntan's than others.
The Daytona 500.. That's a race…
Actually… Islam is a religion.. Muslims are followers of Islam… Still… I can see where it's taking traction… a religion that expects you to hate women, and other people for no good reason… In today's political correct society.. it's the only way you can hate anyone and not be shamed publicly…
When I saw this I had to check the calendar to ensure this was not a Friday "WTF" photo.
That's an insightful photo. And a good post by Nick. Many levels of awareness.
I'm reminded of a cartoon which came out a few years ago. There's two women in it. The one on the left is wearing a bikini and sunglasses. On the right, the woman wears a full burka.
Their thought captions almost exactly the same: Bikini woman: "Everything covered but her eyes–what a cruel male-dominated culture."
Burka woman: "Nothing covered but her eyes. What a cruel male-dominated culture."
Burka woman is wrong, though. Bikini woman is free to wear just about anything she wants. Burka woman is not.
Contrary to what the fem-nazis say, western democracies are not patriarchies. You can't get elected in a western democracy unless women vote for you. And we are probably going to elect a woman to be president here in this western democracy.
Eventually, just not this November.
Oh, and we're not a democracy, we're a representative republic. You know, that old thing that isn't allowed to be said in schools, with the line – "…and to the repulbic, for which it stands…"
We are supposed to be a democratic republic per the constitution. However, since the early 1900s the elected government has been steering us towards being a democracy. This is contrary to our constitution and the people keep electing the same people to do the same thing over and over. Come on America, get your heads out of your asses and force congress to carry out the job they were elected to do per the constitution!
Insanity is contagious. Just look at the presidential race.
Same shoes
Is it the same girl, just in different states of dress?
Ehhh, Nick, common people – like me – especially from abroad, doesn't have the required Login for the " * Huh? " …

The Old Dutch House – Yummy Rice
Onnis Thai – Asian 99 – Next Incarnation
This iconic restaurant on the Pacific Highway at Charmhaven is not currently open. It has been several different types of restaurants from Dutch to Thai. It was as the Dutch Restaurant that I first knew it, when they made croquettes and cooked kangaroo steaks.
The main restaurant area available in the building is very attractive and quite large. The building has plenty of off street parking, a big kitchen with cool rooms and a reception area.
One of the 'feature' restaurants of the 2263 area this building may soon become a seafood restaurant, a pizza and pasta restaurant, even a French restaurant if the right chef decides to move in one day. Whatever happens it will be another fine dining experience for Charmhaven and other local residents.
Now however it's an ideal fanciful and fictional demo page for our directory until someone moves in!

Elongate insects with biting mouthparts and long, slender antenae.
Forewings modified into short, leathery 'wing-cases' (elytra) which meet in the mid-line and reach only a short way down the
body. The large, membranous hindwings are semi-circular with radial veins and when not in use they are folded in a complex
manner under the small front wings, although many species are entirely wingless. The cerci are modified into stout forceps
or pincers at the end of the abdomen, more strongly curved in the male than in the female. Metamorphosis is slight, normally
with four nymphal stages. This is a small Order of about 1,000 species worldwide, of which only four are native to the
British Isles.

It is when you go to a restaurant dubbed as a pub, and you actually go for the food, it is when you realize how good their food is. It was Saturday morning when we went to Draft, in the recently opened branch. There were other families dining there as well, and no beer on sight 😛
I talked about this before and was happily able to eat here recently with friends, and now with family on a bright sunny day. I knew it would be good, and damn great that everyone was happy too.
I recently got promoted at work (yay!) and this was my treat for them. So we ordered everything that we liked, and what looked good. And we were a happy bunch. We ordered some chopped salad, pepper steak for mom and minute steak for me, roast beef for my sister, and some baked chicken for Kuya Dino. We also ordered some mussels with laksa sauce for sharing around the table.
And know what? EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. We actually ordered too much of everything and were so full, with leftovers from the main meal. But we did have space for dessert anyway, though we just shared one order. But damn, we were happy. And I would think that this will become a favorite resto of the family soon.
The total damage was about P4000. it is an expensive meal. Almost like eating at Mamou, my favorite steak place. The Mamou's steak is still yummier, the variety of the menu and nearness of Draft will make it a good hunt for us. 🙂
I would like to apologize for the lack of posts. I have been going away on weekends, or being distracted by other stuff, or going to my comfort-food restaurants that I haven't really tried anything new. But I promise to come up with new stuff as soon as I can.

Review: Nerf N-Strike Spectre REV-5: Shooting with style!
6 comments:
- AnonymousMonday, July 23, 2012 4:18:00 AM
Great review! I especially agree with your point on the barrel. I tried using the Recon barrel with my Rayven, but sometimes the darts get stuck in the barrel when I'm firing and I have to point it "down" to get the dart out. Never had that problem with the Spectre barrel. Also the Spectre barrel is shorter.ReplyDelete
Yes you will get better grouping and less wild darts with Recon barrel, but theres also a higher chance of jams. I'm gonna go with the Spectre barrel over the Recon one because of this.
I personally feel that in Spectre vs Mav, the loss of 1 dart is well worth the benefits - greater range, greater accuracy, less misfires/jams, ease of holstering, easier to prime etc.ReplyDelete
I agree, the benefits you get from the Spectre over the Mav + the accessories is worth the tripled price (Spectre RRP $24, Mav retails about $8)
Really? It comes with sonic darts? I thought the Spectre came with whistlers.ReplyDeleteReplies
[Alex] To be openly honest, I don't have the boxes anymore (and yet I own 5+ Spectres...) but I couldn't remember which darts it came with.Delete
When I Google'd the box art it depicts Sonic darts on the outside, and other reviews I checked stated it came with Sonic darts, so that is what I photographed and reviewed (After all they are the same type of dart just different coloured so I didn't think much of it at the time).
Yet after reading your comment just now I double-checked and many 'inside the box' pictures show it comes with Whistlers. The more I think about it the more I think you get Whistlers with the blasters, and then you buy the Sonic darts separately like in the Ammo boxes... unless it's region-based :S
I would love to be corrected and shall make the necessary corrections if someone could kindly clarify :D almost makes me want to go out and buy (yet another) Spectre just to be 100% certain XD
Even if it is a small detail, we here at S.O.F.T. do try to strive for accuracy... whether it be typographic, photographic, firing-darts-at-enemy-Nerfers-ographic, or otherwise xD
On a mildly related note: I tend to prefer Sonic darts anyways since I think they look cooler, they feel a little bit better quality and I tend to find them easier in grass or indoors (Oddly, you'd think they'd be harder to find being mostly black coloured o.O)Delete
Thanks, Alex!(Can I call you that?)Delete
Whistlers have a 'W1' code and are stiffer than Sonics micros(with a 'K' cose).
Has anyone got a mysterious dart? You know the black suctions that come iwth the Nitefinder right?
I found one of those outside my house and it's stiff as my whistlers and it also has a 'W1' code. Wierd, uh?

For a long while, we've built applications pretty much the same way. Regardless of the frameworks (or even languages and platforms) employed, we've packaged up our web application, deployed it to a server somewhere, and asked our users to point their web browser at it.
But now we're seeing a shift in not only how applications are deployed, but also in how they're consumed. The cost and hassle of setting up dedicated servers is driving more applications into the cloud. Meanwhile, our users are on-the-go more than ever, consuming applications from their mobile devices more often than a traditional desktop browser. And even the desktop user is expecting a more interactive experience than is offered by simple page-based HTML sites.
With this shift comes new programming models and frameworks. It also involves a shift in how we think about our application design. Standing up a simple HTML-based application is no longer good enough.

There is an ancient set of equations and formulas that determine where cathedrals, monuments and arenas are placed. In past shows, this analysis included an understanding of telluric currents that are carried by ley lines. Primary past guest on this topic Peter Champoux, author of Gaia Matrix says its an electromagnetic energy. Peter used the word matrix in the title of his book and its appropriate, especially when you break down the sacred geometry within key structures and their relative locations on the planet. Our guest author and filmmaker Scott Onstott has produced a documentary series titled Secrets In Plain Sight which explores patterns in art, architecture, urban design and the cosmos. For example, the particular measurements and ratios of the Earth, Sun, and Moon carry a sacred geometry and numerological pattern that has influenced architecture and design throughout the ages to this day.
Scott is the author of many books including Taking Measure: Explorations in Number, Architecture, and Consciousness. The book reveals patterns emergent in our universe from quantum to astronomic scales. Scott asks if these patterns emerge by pure coincidence, has it been done to preserve knowledge, or is it an ancient form of magic that continues to this day? Are the synchronizations we experience in our personal lives manifestations of these same patterns?
Guest – Scott Onstott has a degree in architecture from the University of California at Berkeley. He has written or co-written 9 technical books on architectural design and visualization software, offers training videos on AutoCAD, Photoshop, and creates digital art based on number and sacred geometry.

Forget dirty talk, there is only one thing to say in the bedroom that will lead to better sex …
A survey of over 39,000 people has revealed the best thing to say to your partner in order to have great sex, is…
I love you".
Scientists from Chapman University in America interviewed married and cohabiting men and women who were with their partner for a minimum of three years. The study, one of the largest of its kind to date, found that saying those three little words, "I love you" was done by three quarters of all those interviewed who were satisfied with their sex lives. Talking about love ranked hired than wearing sexy lingerie and foreplay.
The results show the more a couple communicates during sex the more satisfied they are going to be. Connecting during the day with a phone call or email also led to a better time in bed that night.
Tips to improve bedroom action include praising your partner for something they did in bed, asking them for what you want, or laughing together about something funny that happened during sexy time.
Participants admitted to having a lot more sex in the first few years of the their relationship, and they had to work to make it a priority after that.

This week we are featuring a Hickory-based hosiery company that has re-invented itself for 21st century manufacturing and marketing. The Socks Factory and its premiere William Tucker line of high-quality men's socks are thriving under the management of Michael Banks Jr., who oversees manufacturing, and his brother, Nate, vice president of marketing and product development. The company has thrived with services from the Manufacturing Solutions Center.
The appropriations from the North Carolina Legislature represent the state's investment in the future of hosiery and textiles manufacturing. That investment has preserved 50 jobs at the Socks Factory alone. Our ongoing lobbying with state lawmakers over the past 24 years is dedicated the success of hosiery and textiles companies across North Carolina. The Textile Technology Center, the Manufacturing Solutions Center and the N.C. General Assembly have pursued a partnership that produced dividends that have been reinvested many times over.

What the SEO Experts Love in a Website :
As a firm specializing in SEO, it is nice once in a while to "talk shop" about the things we love, so today we will cover a few of the things we love to see in a website. By learning about what we love, it may help you understand our approach to SEO and what about it makes sense for your site.
RSS Feeds – without them, search engines won't be able to find your latest content quick enough, and that means a delay in getting your website indexed and ranked.
Great UX – sites that excel at "user interface" (UX) often get ranked better simply because people like them better. It is in a search engine's best interest to provide the best match for a search term, so those hard-working web crawlers are looking for the components that make for a great UX. One of those components is page load time; nobody likes to sit around waiting for a web page to load. So even boosting your page's load time from a ½ second to a ¼ second can increase your page ranking.
Socially Loved – the main caveat with having a social presence for your business is consistency. Like maintaining a helpful, engaging blog, managing your social presence will take time and care. But social love pays dividends. Being linked to/from through tweets and status updates is great fodder for your search engine ranking.
Good Content – They say "content in king," and it is. Search engines are looking for compelling and unique content that fits what a searcher is seeking. It is your job (and your agency's job) to provide that compelling content so there is no need to look elsewhere. Showing up in a search result is the first goal, but compelling the searcher to click on your link is the next, and good content will help make that happen.
Link Building – Building links increases your site's perceived value and relevancy for targeted keywords, so to do this allow as many opportunities for people to link back to your site as possible. Today, this is commonly done through social media pages and sharing.
Of course, an SEO agency employs many more techniques and tactics to build search relevancy for your site, but understanding some of the most important ones can help you understand what's being done with your business's website.

by Mike Telin
"Beethoven's Mass in C is a wonderful piece and under-performed in my opinion — at least in this country," Cleveland Orchestra Director of Choruses Robert Porco told us by telephone. "And I don't know exactly why that is. People like to do the Missa Solemnis, which is an entirely different kind of piece and was written some fifteen years later."
On Thursday, October 31 and Saturday, November 2 in Severance Hall, Franz Welser-Möst leads The Cleveland Orchestra and Cleveland Orchestra Chorus in performances of Beethoven's Mass in C and Messiaen's Trois petites liturgies de la Présence Divine. Also included on the program is Beethoven's Grosse Fugue.
The Mass in C was commissioned by Prince Nikolaus Esterházy II. "He was the same person for whom Haydn wrote his wonderful masses. I only mention this because the late Haydn masses are not performed that often either."
According to history, Esterházy did not like the work — which caused Beethoven to leave abruptly. "Esterházy wrote letters about how much the piece embarrassed him. People have asked me why he thought that and I can't really answer that either except that he was very accustomed to hearing what Haydn had written." In his The Life of Beethoven, (1998) musicologist David Wyn Jones recounts, "Nikolaus later wrote to Countess Henriette Zielinska, 'Beethoven's music is unbearably ridiculous and detestable; I am not convinced it can ever be performed properly. I am angry and ashamed.'"
But as Porco points out, "Beethoven was Beethoven and he had a lot of new ideas and apparently [the mass] wasn't what Esterházy had expected. For example, Haydn usually ends his masses in an upbeat manner with a very joyful Dona nobis pacem. Beethoven does that but, in the last minute he reverts back to the very lyrical soft opening, so the piece ends very quietly. Plus, from what I have read, the first performance was not all that good. As usual, Beethoven was making lot of corrections [until the last minute]."
"It is a very special piece that I find interesting on a lots of levels," Robert Porco says of Messiaen's Trois petites liturgies de la Présence Divine (Three Small Liturgies of the Divine Presence). A work in three movements with text by the composer, Trois petites is scored for women's voices, reduced string section, a prominent percussion group and solo piano. "But the thing that people will really remember is the ondes martenot, an electronic instrument that Messiaen liked a lot because of its ethereal, oscillating, other-worldly sound. You don't get to hear the instrument live very often and while he uses it judicially, near the end it is just magic."
Another aspect of the work Porco finds interesting is Messiaen's use of synaesthesia. "The listener can't really know this from listening, but Messiaen has very specific notes in his score where he says things like "the color here is orange" — or blue, purple or a rainbow, because sounds to him did bring up various colors. I also find his interest in music from all over the world in terms of scales to be fascinating."
Porco says he is also taken by the fact that Messiaen was an ornithologist. "It's more then interesting because he implements that in his compositions, including this one. In the preface of the score he'll say this phrase is reminiscent of a particular bird. And Messiaen has been quoted many times as saying that birds are the best musicians in the world. You get that in the solo piano at the very beginning of the piece. The chorus is singing 'My Jesus' and the piano is playing a little bird call."
Rounding out the list of reasons Porco is fascinated with the piece is Messiaen's own text. "I am taken with his Catholicism that is present in almost all of his music. He wrote all of the text and sometimes you have to really work to figure it out. It's very mystical sometimes and other times very personal."
In 2011, Robert Porco was honored by Chorus America with its annual Michael Korn Founders Award for a lifetime of significant contributions to the professional choral art. His achievements across four decades of work have included preparing choruses for such prominent conductors as Pierre Boulez, James Conlon, Andrew Davis, Christoph von Dohnányi, Raymond Leppard, James Levine, Jesús López-Cobos, Zubin Mehta, André Previn, Kurt Sanderling, Robert Shaw, Leonard Slatkin, and Franz Welser-Möst,
Given the level of our collegial conversation, I felt comfortable asking Robert Porco to talk a little bit about what it's like to be the director of choruses for a major symphony orchestra. After all, once the weeks of preparing the chorus are over, more often then not, everything get turned over to the conductor.
"I've been doing this for a long time and I must say that I am absolutely fine with it now. But you're right, you do the work, turn it over and then go from that to being an audience member. You just have to accept that. It isn't anything about wanting to conduct it, it's just that you want to be on the stage making music."
Porco does add that the level of difficulty in letting go does have a lot to do with the conductor. "But here in Cleveland, Franz knows what to do with the chorus, he knows what he wants and he knows how to work with singers, so it is always fine. But over the years there have been times when I turned the chorus over to someone who I just happened to disagree with a lot. But then you just have to go with it anyway."
He also says there are a couple of philosophies about preparing a symphony chorus. "Some folks would simply teach all the mechanical things like text and rhythm, then turn it over to do with as the conductor wants in terms of phrasing." This is not the approach Porco says he prefers. "I find that approach a little bit cold so we try to deliver a kind of finished product to Franz, with the understanding that if he doesn't like the phrasing he can always change it. For me and the chorus that makes for a far more interesting rehearsal in that we are actually trying to make music. But I do try to build into rehearsals a flexibility with tempos or something else just so we don't become completely married to a particular way of doing something."
He also says that over time you learn what certain conductors want. "You do get used to working with people, although no one is entirely predictable. But you get a feel for the kind of music making that they want and I do feel that kind of connection with Franz." Porco adds, "I love this chorus and we are one of the last standing, entirely volunteer choruses at this level associated with a major orchestra. And what the members bring to it in addition to talent is intangible. Driving an hour and a half each way for rehearsals and performances is real commitment."

Well, it's getting closer to Christmas, and I'm almost done with my shopping. I've just got a couple of other things to grab, then I'll be done. I'm not a huge fan of Christmas, but seeing other people happy with the things I got them makes me happy. But that also means this is my last meal of 2017, and my last R country, so we'll start 2018 off with a whole new letter: S. Actually, the S countries will pretty much take up most of the year.
|This was so wonderful. And look how smooth it looks on top!
So, today I'm starting out with Rwandan Honey Bread. The first thing I did was proof my yeast by mixing my yeast into warm water for about 5 minutes or so. Typically, it should be pretty frothy, but mine didn't really proof that well (I used it anyway). In a separate bowl, I mixed together an egg, ½ c of honey (I'm using a vanilla bean honey), 1 Tbsp of ground coriander, ½ tsp ground cinnamon, ¼ tsp of ground cloves, and 1 ½ tsp of salt. Then I added in my yeast mixture, 1 c of lukewarm milk, 4 Tbsp of melted butter, stirring until everything is mixed well. Then I slowly added about 4 ½ c of flour until it became a soft ball of dough. Turning it out onto my floured pastry mat, I kneaded it for another 5 minutes, but trying not to use any extra flour as necessary, but it was so sticky that I had to. When it was finally ready, I melted 2 Tbsp of butter, I brushed the outside of it and then brushed the bowl with it a bit, covered the bowl and let it rise for about an hour. At the end of the first hour, I punched it down and kneaded for a minute or two. I decided to make this in my round silicon baking pan, so I sprayed the pan (not really sure if that's necessary, but I did it anyway) and placed it in the pan, formed it with my hands to fit. I let it rest for another hour before putting it into a 300ºF oven for 55-60 minutes. The top should be lightly golden in color and kind of crusty. I thought this bread was wonderful, especially when it's still warm. The inside was soft, and the flavors were blended quite nicely.
|This right here was fabulous.
The main dish today is Rwandan Beef Stew. In a skillet, I browned my stew beef (that I cut into smaller pieces) along with the onions. Then I took my plantain pieces that I tossed in lemon juice and browned them with the meat and onions. I added 2 Tbsp of vegetable oil, a can of diced tomatoes, a little salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning (I just used a little bit of thyme, sage, nutmeg, marjoram, garlic powder). After pouring in enough water to cover everything, I let it cook on low heat for a little more than an hour, checking my water levels so it wouldn't burn. Although I should've made some rice to put this on, I thought it was still good by itself. The plantains and the beef strangely enough meshed well together. I thought it was delicious.
|Oh... my... I loved this so much.
To go along with that, I also made Isombe, or greens in peanut sauce. The recipe originally calls for cassava leaves, but I ended up using turnip greens instead (there must've been a run on collard greens—my store was completely out!). I chopped my greens up and boiled them in salted water until they were tender. I didn't boil them for long, though. I was afraid they'd get to the point of being slimy. Then I added in my chopped green onions, diced eggplant, baby spinach, and green bell peppers and let it cook down for 10 more minutes. After this, I mixed a little vegetable oil and some peanut butter in a ramekin and stirred. I actually drained off a lot of the water from the pot, leaving just a little bit in the bottom. I poured the peanut mix into the pot with the greens, letting it simmer for another 10 minutes until the sauce thickened. I was a little worried how the turnip greens would taste with the peanut sauce, but it turned out quite well. It certainly smelled good. I really liked this.
|Of all salads, this one quickly rose to my Top 5 (assuming the mangoes are ripe).
This next recipe may not be wholly authentic, but it sounded good: spinach, avocado, and mango salad. The first thing I did was make the dressing, a kind of orange juice vinaigrette. In a glass soy sauce dispenser, I mixed together 1/3 c orange juice, 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar, 3 Tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp of chili powder, ¼ tsp salt, and ¼ ground pepper and shook it to mix it all together. For the salad, I mixed together some baby spinach, chopped radicchio, sliced radishes, and diced mango. Then I added the dressing just before I served it and garnished it with diced avocado. First of all, the dressing was fire. I totally loved this and will make this dressing again. I've never used radicchio before, but it was pretty good. It's like a small red and white cabbage. My mango wasn't nearly as ripe as it should've been, but it was still good. Overall, I thought this salad was wonderful. It would be awesome to bring to a get together in the summer.
|Overall, I loved all of it. All. Of. It. It was fire for sure.
I thought this was a good meal. I was actually kind of surprised at how good it was. My son would hardly touch anything on his plate, but my daughter and I thought it was excellent. I know I'm going to have some good leftovers for lunch tomorrow. And this meal wraps it up for 2017. I'll post my traditional end-of-year stats on the evening of 12/31, but then I'm taking another break. I was supposed to be cooking the next country on New Year's Eve, but my kids missed my tradition of making Brazilian feijoada on NYE, and really, who can blame them? Feijoada is the perfect way to bring in the new year. Anyway, I can't wait to see what new things I come across in 2018. And hopefully the world won't burn away.
Up next: Saint Kitts & Nevis

Local nurse provides support at McCain memorial
Phil Johnson is accustomed to rushing to someone's aid with only a moment's notice.
The Phoenix fire captain/paramedic and Abrazo Arrowhead emergency room nurse is also a member of Arizona's only Disaster Medical Assistance Team.
It was in that capacity that Johnson attended U.S. Sen. John McCain's memorial Aug. 31 in Washington, D.C.
Disaster Medical Assistance Teams (DMATs), along with a host of other teams such as Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Teams, National Medical Response Teams and Veterinary Medical Assistance Teams, fall under the National Disaster Medical System, which falls under the Department of Health and Human Services.
"We're kind of similar to reservists," Johnson said. "When they need our services, they activate us, they federalize us, we're kind of like a federal asset. We are intermittent federal employees."
Teams respond to man-made disasters such as terrorist attacks and natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods and tornadoes; and provide support at major events such as presidential inaugurations.
No DMAT teams were originally scheduled to be in attendance at the Capitol for McCain's memorial, but once officials realized how many people would be attending, they asked the Department of Health and Human Services for assistance, Johnson said. About five teams were activated, including AZ-1, Arizona's DMAT, even though it wasn't up for deployment until September.
"One of them kind of went, 'Well, McCain's from Arizona, it would probably be a good thing to invite some members from the AZ-1, from his own state, to be part of this,' and they went, 'That's probably a pretty good idea,'" Johnson said, adding about 12 members from AZ-1 went.
He said his team got a late email Aug. 27 asking for volunteers to go to D.C.
"I was able to align my schedule real quick. We got the heads up on Monday and we left Wednesday morning," he said, adding they arrived the evening of Aug. 29.
They went through a briefing Aug. 30 and got their credentials from Secret Service, and then stood inside the rotunda Aug. 31 during the memorial.
He said his team did not expect to be inside the rotunda and only received a couple of calls for medical care that were ultimately canceled, but that the District of Columbia Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department outside the rotunda was kept very busy.
"D.C. Fire did an amazing job outside," Johnson said. "They were actually scheduled to secure the line and all the people waiting to come in and show their respects, and with the heat and the humidity in D.C. that time, they were pretty busy. They did an incredible job to what they were tasked to do."
Johnson said the experience was a humbling one.
"I was very honored to be there to give respect to our senator," he said. "And ... to the people that were in the rotunda that day, to actually have their medical needs be placed in our hands, so that was very humbling and kind of an honor."
Johnson has been with the Phoenix Fire Department for almost 22 years and Abrazo Arrowhead for four. He works full time with the Fire Department, putting in around 56 hours a week, and part time for Abrazo, logging in 24-30 hours. He said Phoenix firefighters work 24-hour shifts every three days and that a lot of them have side jobs on their days off.
"We're all pretty much gung ho, we like to help people, we like to stay busy," he said.
He's also an EMS coordinator for Abrazo, a position he's been in just over a year. He said that his background in the 911 community made it "a pretty good transition."
He described the position as essentially a liaison between the nurses and 911, EMS and the ambulance services, with education being a key component.
He said when nurses go to him and say, "Hey, I didn't understand, why did they do this?" or "Why didn't they do that?" he can educate them about how the system works.
"And it kind of decreases that tension," he said.
He joined AZ-1 in 2004, about a year after it formed. His first deployment came a year later after Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast and New Orleans.
He and his fellow team members arrived in New Orleans after the evacuation, so they were treating a lot of search and rescue personnel. As residents were allowed to return, they focused on administering vaccines, such as tetanus and hepatitis A and B.
The married father of three — an 18-year-old boy and 17- and 15-year-old girls — said it's hard to be away from his family, but it's a sacrifice he feels compelled to make.
"You see the destruction, you see the people in need, you really want to help them, and you want to make sure that they're safe and do what you can for them," he said. "You really feel obligated to want to go out the door, but at the same time, your family's left at home, they're worrying about you. But in the end, you enjoy that you were able to help people.
"You see the relief on their faces that there's someone there to guide them, help them and make sure they're safe."

Central European Manufacturing Figures Lift Recovery Hopes
Manufacturing activity in Central Europe's three biggest economies continued its recent expansion through November as rising demand from the region's core euro-zone export markets bolstered hopes that the economic recovery is gathering pace.
Purchasing managers' index data released Monday showed that manufacturing grew last month in the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary.
Czech PMI rose for the seventh month in a row to 55.4 points from 54.5 in October. In Poland PMI was 54.4 compared with 53.4 a month earlier and in Hungary's increased to 52.6 in November from a slightly upwardly revised 51.1 in October, the fourth straight monthly gain.
PMI provides a broad indicator of how healthy manufacturing is by tallying new orders, inventory sizes, staffing levels and supplier deliveries. A reading below 50 indicates that manufacturing is contracting while a figure above suggests expansion.

Kitchen Countertops
Looking for a Beautiful Combination of Cabinets and Countertops for your Kitchen?
A home can never be complete without a kitchen. It's the very heart of the whole household where all family members get together to share their tasty snacks and celebrate milestones. Every homeowner dreams of having the best décor and the best appliances for his own kitchen, and this plan can never be complete without the best cabinets and countertops.
Choosing cabinets and countertops for your kitchen depends on a few factors including the size of your kitchen and how much storage spaces you need and how much work spaces you need. It also depends on your budget and how much you're willing to spend on kitchen cabinets and countertops.
For a small sized kitchen, tall cabinets are your best bet. You need to utilize wall spaces to a maximum so tall cabinets should do the trick. It can offer you plenty of storage spaces while making your kitchen's ceiling look higher and provide more spaciousness. There are various sizes of kitchen cabinets which gives your greater flexibility on how to arrange them.
If you can't find a suitable size at any furniture store, you should probably consider having your kitchen cabinets customized. It might cost you a little bit more, but you'll end up having a great and perfect look. In fact, the more you spend on your kitchen, the more your house value will increase, so it's a win-win case.
As for the countertops, there are a lot of materials to choose from. The most popular and durable choice is granite. It can give your kitchen a shiny and stylish look because of the granite's high-end appearance. It comes in many colors and styles including beige, black, white, red, and green. The cost depends entirely on the place from which the granite was imported.
Other materials for countertops include limestone, ceramic, butcher block, concrete, marble, and soapstone. Also, wood countertops are becoming more popular than ever and that's due to the fact that wood is easy to clean and any scratches can be easily refinished and sanded. If you still can't decide on a particular material, consider mixing and matching two or three materials together.
Before choosing a specific material, make sure you visit many showrooms in order to see samples of every material and how they would look like in a real kitchen.

Dear visitor,
Since its inception Vodafail.com has made a significant
contribution towards raising awareness of the problems and issues faced
by Vodafone customers.
Vodafone Australia customers have had the opportunity to voice their concerns, their fears and their troubles from every corner of Australia and beyond our borders.
You have gathered the courage to stand up for your rights as consumers and to make your voice heard.
Each and every person who shared their story should have a sense of pride in this achievement and the changes that have occurred since the start of Vodafail.com.
More recently, traffic to Vodafail.com has declined significantly.
Having achieved the goal of raising awareness and promoting concrete action in early 2011, we have now reached the point of closing Vodafail to new complaints.
The site will remain online for as long as possible as a
reminder and an example of what is possible when we share our experiences.
It has been a privilege to run this initiative
and I'm am forever grateful for the help and support I've received. In
particular I would like to thank Melissa, David and Travis for their
continued efforts over the past 15 months. I'm also thankful and humbled by the support of ACCAN, Choice magazine and a wide range of media outlets, blogs and websites.
You can still browse existing stories and find out how to file a complaint if you are experiencing problems.
Until next time,
Adam Brimo

11593 Someone from WA thinks vodafone is Total Failure at 10 Jan 2011 01:32:16 AM
My home sits smack in the middle of a major Perth suburb. Vodafone's coverage map shows my area is covered by 2G/3G service. I cannot make or receive calls from inside my home or front the front or back yards. Totally unacceptable coverage. I am one year into a 2 year service agreement. The reported security breach regarding customer details just adds insult to injury. Surely Vodafone are in breach of the Trade Practices Act? They certainly appear to have breached their own privacy policy. My legal advice is that I can unilaterally cancel my contract because they are in breach of same. Has anyone else pursued this line of attack?

Man at His Best
Can You Solve the "Murder on the Orient Express" Just From This First Trailer?
Daisy Ridley? Michelle Pfeiffer? Maybe Willem Dafoe?
BY matt miller | Jun 2, 2017 | Film & TV
For good or bad, Johnny Depp's character won't be around for too long in Murder on the Orient Express, as his character's death serves as the basis for the iconic train-based mystery. With an all-star list of suspects—Daisy Ridley, Michelle Pfeiffer, Willem Dafoe, Leslie Odom, Jr., Judi Dench, Derek Jacobi, and Josh Gad—it's up to Agatha Christie's iconic detective Hercule Poirot (Kenneth Branagh) to solve the murder of Edward Ratchett.
"One of my favorite films of Martin Scorsese—a man I revere—is Age of Innocence," Branagh told Entertainment Weekly. "One of the things I thought was just so captivating was the way I was entirely transported to nineteenth-century New York. I could taste and smell [everything]. And I wanted to do that with this. I wanted to bring people onto the train, to celebrate a sort of expertise, and craftsmanship, in everything, whether it's a wooden panel or the way something is served."

The cold weather throughout the United States had an impact on the job numbers again, as employers added 175,000 new private jobs in January, below the expected 189,000, according to the ADP national employment report.
"Cold and stormy winter weather continued to weigh on the job numbers. Underlying job growth, abstracting from the weather, remains sturdy. Gains are broad based across industries and company sizes, the biggest exception being manufacturing, which shed jobs, but that is not expected to continue." ~Marc Zandi, Chief Economist at Moody's Analytics
The latest numbers from the Labor Department also concur that job growth was less than expected. The Bureau of Labor Services (BLS) Jobs Report stated that 113,000 jobs were added last month. However, the country's unemployment rate slipped to 6.6 percent in January from 6.7 percent in a previous month, hitting a five-year low. However, the drop in unemployment this month is not due to people opting out of the workforce; the labor force participation rate rose this month to 63 percent.
The construction industry saw a drop of 22,000 jobs, while federal jobs lost 12,000 positions with the postal service accounting for 9,000. The biggest gains were in professional and business services (36,000 jobs added) and leisure and hospitality (24,000 jobs added).
Online job ads fell in January by 56,800 for a total of 5.2 million. According to June Shelp, Vice-President at The Conference Board, "employers still seem hesitant to expand their workforce." However a survey by the SurePayroll Small Business Scorecard found that half of small businesses in the U.S. expect to hire for new positions in 2014.
Global Contingent Worker Spend
Global spend on contingent labor was $2.5 trillion in 2012, according to estimates by Staffing Industry Analysts. Independent contractors had the highest spend at $1.5 trillion.

Wage Increase for Federal Contractors
On February 12th, 2014, U.S. President Barack Obama signed an executive order to increase minimum wages for federal contract workers to $10.10 per hour starting in 2015. The current rate is $7.25 an hour. This order applies to new contracts and replacements for expiring contracts. The President also urged employers nationwide to increase wages for their workers. The White House says that this move will benefit hundreds of thousands of people working under contracts with the federal government.
A report by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says that raising the federal minimum wage would cause the loss of approximately 500,000 jobs but would boost earnings for about 16.5 million low-wage workers. However, the report does acknowledge that long-term conclusions on the effect of the minimum wage are difficult to predict.
"Increasing the minimum wage would have two principal effects on low-wage workers. Most of them would receive higher pay that would increase their family's income, and some of those families would see their income rise above the federal poverty threshold. But some jobs for low-wage workers would probably be eliminated, the income of most workers who become jobless would fall substantially, and the share of low-wage workers who were employed would probably fall slightly" ~ Congressional Budget Office

This is especially true in neighborhoods and communities where poverty and other barriers to education are most significant and we are excited to expand this work in the Kearns area. The beauty of a community school is that it looks different in every community because services are tailored to specific community needs.

"It's a health-conscious cafe," says Back and Forth's co-owner, Alex Savidis. A quick flick through the menu reveals a burger with two beef patties, special sauce, American cheese, pickles and mustard all between a Brasserie milk bun. Not exactly diet-conscious food, and neither is the four-deep stack of thick pecan pancakes swimming in peanut-butter gelato.
"We have a few cheat options, you might say," Savidis concedes. He also runs nearby Ritual Coffee Traders with Sam Gibson. The pancakes are joined on the breakfast menu by a nut-and-seed-based gluten-free bread sold by the loaf, or served with tomato, goat's cheese and avocado. There's also a new take on Ritual Coffee Traders' acai bowl. Rather than the common blended smoothie-style acai, they've made a gelato and placed it on a stack of granola, blueberries, figs and dried strawberries.
"We want to serve stuff you can eat every day and not feel bad about," Savidis says. "Because of our other cafe, that's the road we're going down." The two cafes share a similar vision for specialty coffee (from Gabriel Coffee) and a similarly clean but industrial fit-out. But Back & Forth beats its Northbridge cousin in scope and size.
"Our other places have been very coffee-orientated," says Savidis. "Opening this and having such a big kitchen is something new for us." It means Savidis and chef Ben Pichon (ex-Hemingway's) can experiment more.
Back to the burger; it is a bigger, less-sloppy version of the deluxe American-style burger that has become the norm in Sydney. "We did a lot of research. In about a month we ate about 30 burgers," Savidis says with a chuckle. If it's not your cheat day, it's best to go with Pichon's som tum-inspired green papaya salad with poached chicken.

Yesterday Jason and I were on our way out when our neighbor, Jana, called to say that she saw our dog out. Our dog? Out of the fence? NO way! But, yes, somehow Pedro got out. So we turned around and headed back to the house. Odd thing though. When we got home he was in the fenced yard. Hmmm...is he climbing fences? Hence the search for the hidden hole began. And here's where we found it.
Wait, you say you don't see the hole? Are you sure? Look closer.
Ah-ha. There it is. So, that's how Pedro got out. Now my question is how long has he been sneaking out? Sorry, bud. Party's over.
Here's some more Pedro pics for all you fans.

The "Forgotten Coast" of Florida
Where would your dream vacation home be? Somewhere warm and sunny, both in weather and people. A place with pristine beaches and spectacular sunsets. Undiscovered, wild almost, but with just enough civilization to stay connected…only if you want to. You're dreaming of Apalachicola Bay.
Located on North Florida's Gulf Coast where the Apalachicola River meets the Gulf of Mexico, Apalachicola Bay is a well-kept secret. Some even call it the "forgotten coast," which is just fine by the locals. They don't need the crowds and partygoers some of the better-known Florida beaches attract. That's not to say people here aren't friendly or fun. Along Apalachicola Bay, life is simple and slower paced, and fun comes naturally.
St. George Island is one of the gems of the Apalachicola Bay area. You'll find no high rises or chain stores here. An unspoiled barrier island under State Park protection, St. George Island is home to 9 miles of uninhabited beach and is under strict building codes and low-density zoning.
Because of the building restrictions, real estate on the island of St. George is limited, making a stay here truly spectacular. Richard Keith, Senior Partner of Lifestyle Asset Group commented, "Think of Cape Cod but without the crowds! St George Island is a truly magical place where it is easy to bring your heart rate down and forget your worries."
Ranked as one of the top beaches in the country, St. George offers miles of pristine white sand, breezy marsh grasses and clear Gulf waters. Bath in the sun, hunt for the most unique seashell, and go for a swim to refresh. St. George's coastline provides the tranquil backdrop for most activity on the island.
The protected coastline is sanctuary to spectacular wildlife with nesting sea turtles and migrating birds among the highlights. Birding is a favorite activity for many who visit St. George Island where more than 300 species of birds have been documented. Dolphins and other sea life are in abundance off the island, too.
St. George Island Volunteer Turtlers
St. George Island Rated No. 1 Birding Location
You don't have to be an avid fish wrangler to appreciate the incredible fish life around St. George Island. Red fish, mackerel, and pompano can be caught off a line from shore or by boat. Hire a fishing guide, take a stroll down shore to watch the pros battle a big one, or bring your rod and reel to give it a shot yourself.
Island Charters of St. George Island
St. George Island Redfish Tips
Fish and seafood, specifically oysters, are menu staples at most restaurants on the island. Paddy's Raw Bar and Harry A's are two of the top choices for Apalach regulars. St. George eateries are family friendly, laid back and unpretentious, like most of the island. If you're looking for something a bit more upscale without the children, check out Up the Stairs in the town of Apalachicola. And don't forget to try the Key lime pie wherever you end up dining.
St. George Island and Apalachicola Bay can not only be your dream vacation, it can also be a way for you to own your dream second home. To learn how you can own a share in a beachfront $3m, 7 bedroom, 7.5 bath for as low as $136,000, go to www.lifestyleassetgroup.com/st-george and contact Lifestyle Asset Group.com for details.

"Unfortunately, this is an actual conversation between my therapist and I. The moment she said, "You need friends" I (1) wanted to laugh because it's hilarious for your therapist to say that to you, and (2) knew I was going to make a video about it.
I don't know why people on the internet would be surprised that I don't have many friends, but I really don't. At least not people that I hang out with on a regular basis. I have a hard time with it, I struggle to remember to maintain the friendships I do build, and on a whole, I just feel really uncomfortable in social situations. Can you relate to this? Who knows.
But she did bring up really valid points. I do feel intense waves of loneliness, and my independence with being alone has turned more into a way to withdraw and not have to deal with any kind of social anxiety. I think (hope) that a lot of people can relate to this, especially today, when kids aren't really playing outside anymore, when we Skype each other instead of meeting up, and when you can shoot your mom a text instead of calling.
Don't forget that we're social creatures. And just like how a dog can become depressed when it's left at home all day, you can too. We need to be around people. It's thousands of years of evolution and biology ingrained into your basic need to survive.
Good luck.

Revolutionary Girl Utena episodes 37-39 review
These final three episodes of Utena made little sense and offered little hope. The way it ends, you're left in almost total despair. There's no revolution; there's no resolution. Instead you get a big sour ending that leaves you wanting to sit on a folding chair and say negative things. The movie is the last chance for Utena to redeem itself, which I'll review next week. If the move cannot redeem Utena, then Utena may very well go down as the most overrated anime I've ever seen. What a disappointment.

Between Paris and Bruxelles, NAB (Nouvel An Belge ) invite its "ACTIONNAIRES"
Actionnaires n°5: TRISTESSE CONTEMPORAINE (LIVE) + ERIC STIL (DJ SET)
TRISTESSE CONTEMPORAINE (FR - DIRTY - LIVE) (NEW ALBUM release party)
Through friendship and compatibility, Narumi, Léo and Maik decided to start a band in 2009. They soon needed to record in order to back up their spontaneous ideas, their imagination and their powerful drafts. The demos resulting from their recording sessions were like nothing before although they were clearly inspired by the Talking Heads (Fear of Music), Young Marble Giant (Collossal Youth) and The Cure (17 seconds). Then they had to find a name. Whilst looking through an old bookshop, Léo came across a book called La tristesse contemporaine by Hippolyte Fierens Gevaert – a book on the main moral and intellectual movements of the 19th century. Tristesse Contemporaine was a French band of foreigners, a group of "back seat drivers" as they called themselves. Tristesse Contemporaine was a band of migrants, modern drifters.
PILOOSKI (Discodeine, Dirty Edits) mixed their first album which has been released by Dirty, revealing the power of instant classics such as In the Wake, Hierarchies or I didn't Know, capturing the time to ignite. With the stage as their best ally, Tristesse Contemporaine will be touring in the year 2012."

AIMLink™: bi-specific antibodies
AIMM's novel, site-specific, protein-coupling technology AIMLink™, allows efficient production of bi-specific antibodies with a defined composition. The linking technology conserves the individual affinities and in vivo functionalities of each antibody. The AIMLink™ covalent coupling method may also be applied to arm antibodies with a toxic payload to create an antibody-drug-conjugate.
