Any SEO expert (me included) will tell you that is critical to have links from other valuable sites, preferably on self-descriptive anchors, based on what you want to be found after. This is one of the most important things in SEO. It's proven. It works.
But, there is a "but"… I have a question, for google.
Almost nobody in normal language, in a normal site, will not put a link on an generic anchor in a web page. In most cases is unnatural.
If the site X is so good it worth mention, I will say WHY is good and I will put a link to it, on one of the two following formats: http://www.google.com or Google.
It is highly unlikely to put in the text page "bla bla bla search engine bla bla bla". Correct?
So, nobody will put the link on the anchor that site X desires it, unless:
a. it's a requested link (link exchange, paid link, etc)
b. the site owner has too much time on his hands and is web savvy.
If this supposition is true, than why google pays so much attention to the right anchors? Maybe it should pay more attention to the words from the vicinity of the link than to the anchor itself. Or maybe the a + b cases are enough for Google to give them so much credit. Maybe there are far more people using anchors than I think, what is making this a large number event that google is using it.
Maybe google analyze it this fact very carefully and he decided that indeed is ok. Or maybe, when the new Caffeine will hit the net, the algorithm will change a little bit.
Maybe this fact is since the google was taken very seriously the registrations in directors, but this is not true anymore.
Anyway, just a question….

3D Printer number three
This is the third 3D printer for school. This one came from another school where they didn't have the time to finish building the printer. I checked how far they got and given the building instructions there's still about eight hours of work left. I've asked the teachers if we're going to finish building this printer with the school children. If not, it will be a project for me. Ellis already mentioned she would like to help.

Team effort saves century-old oak tree next to new Greystone plastic surgery and spa
Birmingham News
A century-old white oak tree stands a few yards away from construction going on in Hoover's Greystone neighborhood.
The majestic tree with the large canopy is the center of attention as a team of contractors, architects, landscape architects and an arborist have taken steps to preserve it, while Dr. William Hedden's new plastic surgery center and spa facility off Hugh Daniel Drive takes shape.
During a time when its common for old trees to be clear-cut to make room for the new, Colin Conner, Hoover's city forester, applauds the efforts that have been undertaken to save this oak.
"It is an incredible thing," Conner said. "It seems to be a standard practice for these types of trees to come down and new trees to be planted."
The building, which features a Spanish-style facade with Mediterranean details, was planned with saving the tree in mind, said Aimee Reese, a landscape architect with Holcombe Norton Partners.
Reese said it has really taken a team approach to save the tree. TurnerBatson Architects designed the building, which sits near Butterfly Lake near Hedden's existing office. Johnson-Kreis is the general contractor.
"It's a great example of showing people that a tree really can give context to architecture," Reese said. "It makes the architecture feel like it belongs to the site."
John Ingle, a certified arborist and state-licensed tree surgeon called in to examine the tree, said it is at least 100 years old. He said the tree not only adds to the visual attractiveness of the property, but provides environmental benefits such as absorbing stormwater and converting carbon dioxide to oxygen.
"It would be a shame for that tree to die," Ingle said. "It's priceless."
Reese acknowledges that saving a tree poses a lot more of a commitment than what many property owners and developers are willing to undertake.
It's not uncommon for trees to be saved then harmed when a parking lot is put in, killing tree roots, Reese and Ingle said.
Protective measures have been taken to make sure the tree's roots are not disturbed and to make sure the tree continues to thrive, Reese said. Ingle was to put reviver in the tree's soil this week to revive its roots.
Reese said no grading will occur in the area of the tree known as the drip line. Irrigation will be installed and mulch will be placed underneath, she said.
"We're going to try and replicate the natural environment," Reese said. "The tree can't be replaced."

You have three classes to select at the beginning – Fighter, Rogue, and Mage. At level 20 each of them can advance to a new class. Not all classes are accessible from all races. Leveling up is not very fast, for two hours intense playing and doing quests I was only at level 8. Today I'll try to reach level 20 and obtain a profession – Elven Mage.
You can actually find many people playing the game. I was surprised to see so many characters selling and buying things at the shop area in Alker Harbor.
I'll spend some more time in game before evaluating my impression. I am not exactly the type to like chibi characters but the game took my attention and I enjoy my playing time a lot.

text: I have the ideia for this thread reading this article on WWD: Source: What Consumers Want: Gucci, Sneakers, Brand Collabs So what y'all think? This behavior is something that the costumers always wanted, but never did it because before fashion was not 'democratic' they were scared of the fashion world as a whole or this is the result of the trend culture/logomania and when its over people will stop to look up for high end brands? IMO fashion can and you survive as a industry dont matter what the reason behind the costumer intentions and actions, they found a way to sell x100 more than 10 years ago, BUT its a auto-pilot mode where is very hard for something creative emerge and etc, thing that most everyone here know, but what about we discuss it from the POV of the costumer, I think that it will be interesting. Im have to confess that is a relief to know that I can go to fancy diner wearing a sneaker and I dont want this to go away, never. At the same time I know that im part of the reason behind the lack of effort that brands are putting in clothes and accessories. Maybe is miscommunication, I want to feel comfy and fashion, but that doest mean that every season brands have to thrown at us 1000's different versions of branded hoodies, guccyfied sweatpants and sneakers that in the end look almost the same.


text: This movie looks intense… and good! This X-men actor sure isn't any hero in this one! Well, on the other hand I guess one of his personalities may be. I don't know. I just know that this movie looks intense, for those that like such a thing. What else would you expect from M. Night? It comes out on January 20th.

"hello patti ann,
nice to hear from you. nice to hear your legs finally arrived. i'm sure you'll be able to feel better now that you can progress everyday. it's no fun not having the chance to move on in our daily lives. you have some major challenges that you will come up agains't. i think you've proven to yourself that you can do anything you set your mind to. just go back and look at the tapes from when you were on t.v. it's amazing still to think that we could talk, after that long coma you were in. i definitely want you to hear my album. i really meant what i said in the letter. acceptance will set you free. i was on the beach one night playing my little drum and it just hit me. something told me you must hear it. easier said than done, i know. when you get my album, i would love it if you could hear it alone, from start to finish. just keep your mind opened. it is a story of me trying to make sense of indigenous cultures, life and death, and of grand point. the last song was written for you and everyone when you were under that spell in the hospital. i couldn't believe it happened to us again. i was crying in my plate of blue runner red beans, thinking of you, mamere and papere, thinking of joey, pour bette. i was thinking how sad it is that we all slip back into the normal daily life after someone passes on and we forget all the beautiful messages that death teaches us. it teaches us how precious one minute is. it showed me all the things i have inside to discover. music has given my spirit a voice and has given me a purpose beyond myself. anyway, i'll get you a copy soon. i'll send you one in a unique package, so be on the lookout for it. just send me your mailing address. hope you're well and fighting. i'm fighting too. life will always be an uphill climb, that was God's intention, a slow steady fulfillment. there will be no happily ever after for anyone. rich or poor. take care.
I'm not going to lie, I ran from Grand Point. I ran away. There were long days as a child and they were strung together with no meaning and hot as hell. Most days we let our imaginations run wild and built cabins in the woods and sometimes I thought if I walked far enough through the woods, California would be on the other side. I had an imagination and liked building things. Of course the adults would take note and say how good I was with my hands and that I was great candidate to work in the factories, totally ignoring my imagination.
They spoke in French when they spoke about us. Always. I wondered what they were saying about me when I'd come in for some cold tea but then I'd go back into my imagination. At first it was imagining that I was Joe Montana and then a few years later "Ta Ta Jones". Women couldn't vote until the 1920's and black folks couldn't play quarterback until the 1980's. We humans are a funny herd of beings and we live on a moving ball and take space ships to the moon and plant flags and divide ourselves into classes and races. Well Terrence "Ta Ta" Jones definitely took me to the moon on Fridays in 1983. I planted my flag of swagger on Saturday's when we practiced our run through with no pads on. Brent Poirrier was our coach, the oldest son in the Poirrier family. "Wing left, Longview right" was my favorite pass play to the tight end Nuck Brignac. Nuck was a natural talent and had size but had no use for games. He'd sit on a lawn chair, away from everyone on the sidelines and his mom brought him Slushes. Years later when I got into playing piano and classical music, Nuck told me I liked that crazy music with no words. I look back fondly on those Saturday mornings in the fall. Short practice, white shoe polish on our shoes and we'd pick up some sausage at Norm's. Fall was in the air with the scent of burnt sugar cane.
We are all molded by our own experiences and environments. It was a major experience for me to see Ta Ta play on Friday nights. He was the first African American I'd ever seen play quarterback and he redefined the position right in front of our eyes. He taught me what it meant to improvise and trust your instincts and push your outer limits. It's a serious piece of info to receive as a kid, but it's an entirely different thing to train yourself to be yourself.
The first song I ever wrote was a song called "Art" and it was all about fighting to be yourself. It lived on a cassette tape in my old four track recorder for about 3 years before it was born to a brand new beat that Donovan had made. The first song we recorded in a professional studio was a song called "Perique". "Preacher" Leblanc was the first sound on the record. I had recorded him in the fields on one of my visits from New York. He recites his social security number along with things in Latin from mass. Older generations were tied to the land and to a reverence of the higher spirit.
But what about that beat. There was the Choctaw beat under the tobacco shed when we'd beat the dust off of the tobacco stalks agains't the log. I'd get so infected by the beat of the tobacco under the shed that it was sort of a revival. Teddy Boy called me the Child of the Wolf in those moments. Then there was the African beat in the stadium on Friday nights. I was born into a unique set of circumstances right there on the Mississippi River just after desegregation. It took me years to understand the complexities that took place in the centuries leading up to the 1980's.
It was pure joy when I put on my suit and picked Donovan Guidry up at the airport the day he moved to New York. Living in the East Village was like making it to the moon for two Cajuns. We celebrated that night at "Jules" in the village with some French film makers and dreamed our asses off. Anything was possible now. We treated this time in the late 90's like if we were delivering something. If we didn't do it, no one ever will. We never met other Cajun artist in New York the whole time we were there. We were alone on the moon. On Fridays there were no sounds of the high school marching bands, the city marched on. It was a rare opportunity to be living right in the middle of the world.
We could hear the sound but needed some help getting it to come out of the speakers. We knew things were about to change the day my brother Daniel sent us an old computer and we rigged it to record on. It was like receiving the Arc of the Covenant. Much resilience was needed night after night, crash after computer crash. To help offset the cost of recording, I helped to build the now famed "Headgear Studio" in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. In fact, I was the first artist to record in that old warehouse. Over the years, many great records would be made there and people like David Bowie were showing up.
Insecurity was a constant. Every day I was in over my head, surrounded by smart and talented, accomplished people. I didn't know what I was doing but I knew for sure that this was what I was supposed to be putting my energies into. Of course I'd lose perspective but when I'd sit down to write Patti, my nerves would settle and I could see clearly what needed to be done. Small steps, don't look down the row. It's ok if you're from Grand Point.
We often recorded into the wee hours of the night and I'd walk about 11 blocks home to the south side of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. One night I was walking triumphantly but tired and heard a light cough from the window above me. I could see a shadow, a silhouette. It was Joey, I swore it was. But he was a little boy. He had hair that came down to his ear lobes. He died in a fire due to the smoke and this shadow was coughing. "Sky King" always said to remain open. Things were going my way in the studio and I couldn't believe my good fortune, so maybe it could be Joey in that window. He wouldn't answer me so I kept walking. It gave me the chills. I just assumed he returned to tell me he was proud of me, like the time we beat Riverside and I floated passes all over the field. He was so happy for me that night. He taught me well.
No matter how late I stayed up, I always hopped out of bed around 8:00. I could feel my dad looking at me and telling me to get up. I could feel the pull of expectation of 10 generations before me. There was no coach on a table inspiring me. No teacher showing me how to take to the path. We were blind but trusted our instincts and were dead serious about succeeding. The computer allowed us to try many things without wasting tape. We hated working with most studio engineers when we first started out. We wanted to break the rules. We actually didn't even know the rules and it allowed us to reimagine a way of working. We had a drummer come in and play and then Donovan went to work pushing and pulling the beat until we had this heavy pocket of a rhythm. I was in the vocal booth for the first time. Everyone was looking at me through the glass and my heart was pounding. We had that Cajun dub sound in the headphones and I opened my mouth. "Take me humble man, cry me a river away....."
My melodies had their own rhythm and the songs that were coming out of me sounded foreign. I didn't know what it was but it seemed connected to all my life experiences up until that point. There was something about Reggae music and the delivery of the vocals that felt like home. It had the same cadence as a gang of Cajuns in the kitchen. But Cajuns from Grand Point were a unique mix. We had some Native customs mixed with many African recipes and melodies from the river, along with the French. Everybody in Brooklyn thought I was a foreigner and would ask repeatedly where I was from. They'd eat my gumbo and would ask again. Our music was a new mix and we were well on our way.
The arrival of the Acadians in Brooklyn can be dated back to 1997. They arrived by plane with two bags and a lot of nerve. I had arrived with the secret in my heart and was committed to the cause to find beauty, to live simply and resilient. To find the wolf. Sleep tight Patti Ann.
Take full responsibility for your actions.

Friday, December 14 - Manny Nosowsky
The three 15-letter stacks in the middle were tough to crack, especially the first...35A: Snap out of it (return to reality). The other two were brilliant...38A: Much work to get done (a lot on one's plate) and 39A: Place for good deals (clearance center).
It's snowing again tonight, and Leslie has to be at work at 7:30...that means another early morning so I can get her there on time. It took me 40 minutes to make a 10-minute trip on Tuesday. It's amazing that a 3-inch snow can wreak so much havoc...but the roads were so slick. That said, I'd better wrap this up so I can get six or so hours of sleep.
The gimmes and guesses that worked...8A: Watches in astonishment (gapes at), 24A: Work an aisle, slangily (ush)...that appears fairly often, 47A: Hand tool (awl), 50A Unclear (hazy), 52A: Spill the beans (tattle), 57A: Cook first, as pie crust (prebake), 5D: Bite-the-bullet type (stoic), 9D: Something to bid (adieu), 23D: Singer John and others (Eltons), 34D: Wayne W. __, author of "Your Erroneous Zones" (Dyer), 46D: It's seen on the back of a U.S. quarter (eagle), and 49D: Actor __ Cobb (Lee J)...whose full name appeared in Wednesday's puzzle.
Those answers helped me fill out the rest of the bottom half, including 59A: Cardiff Giant or Piltdown Man (big hoax), 60A: Went through (pierced), 61A: Away (on leave), 62A: University with campuses in New York and Rome (St. John's), and 63A: Zealots have them (agendas).
...which led me to the connected cluing at 36D: With 14-Down, something that can have you seeing things (Rorschach / test). That had me flummoxed for some time, but once I had the HACH at the end, it didn't take long to see the right answer.
I did have to resort to Google for a couple of things, including 22A: French city where William the Conqueror is buried (Caen), 43A: "Baudolino" novelist (Eco)...how many times do I have to see that one before I remember it?, 3D: Guam's __ Bay (Pago), and 26D: Renaissance artist Piero __ Francesca (della).
Even Google couldn't help with 16A: Luxembourg grand duke in whose name an annual art prize is awarded (Adolphe), 6D: Leader of the Alamo siege (Santa Anna), or 20D: Neighbor of Hoboken, N.J. (Union City).
That's it for tonight...I'm off to bed. Here's the grid...
...and I'll see you tomorrow.

This one felt fairly easy, maybe medium, for a Friday puzzle. Even the three long answers in the middle came quickly. That's a first! But, like you Linda, the top gave me more trouble than the rest. I finally resorted to Googling the bay in Guam, and the Grand Duke.
We got about eight to nine inches of snow today. Lots of shoveling and achy muscles tomorrow. Drive carefully on those snowy roads.

This was easier than this Thursday's for me. I was able to finish it in 45 minutes without Googling (except to check the spelling for rorschach). I first tried to spell it rauschach. But realized it was wrong. This was my best Friday for the past 6 months or so that I have been attempting Fridays. As I struggled so with Thursdays and gave up without finishing it, I was glad to be able to complete a Friday's without Googling.

I found todays puzzle to be a challange...nothing came easy and I needed Dr. Google to get it done...I am impressed profphil...good for you!!!!can anyone explain Ba preceder being ALIF...thought it was the Periodic Table but still could not get it!
Have a good day and drive safely

After reading Orange and googling, it's Arabic.

I thought Union City was unfair. Since the defintion included the abbreviation "NJ" I put in NY once I got the y. That was the last spot to fall as a result.

Thank you rick,,,if I finish a puzzle I like to know what the answers mean!!!

I'm from NJ, so UNIONCITY was easy... lived in HOBOKEN for a while...
- December 14, 2007 at 9:53 AM
I kept expecting to get stuck but the answers kept opening up. The middle was tough for me. Living in the south and having very limited knowledge of NJ cities, Union City was a lucky guess with U___n_ity. That let me get the middle.
Overall not a bad Friday. I just hope that Saturday doesn't beat me as badly as last week!

Well, I'm impressed with annielee, profphil and jimd! Good job.
If Saturday's looks too tough for my battered brain to deal with tonight, I'll just do an early morning solve and blog ; )

my tough spots revolved around assuming 10d was "poor STATE" and 38a was "a lot on one's TABLE."
even with the *--O-PHE* i googled for the answer to 18a. and for 34d, DYER.
i'll have to look for a thursday nyt. sounds like it was a good one from these comments.
(don't y'all just love the scrabbly letters in the word verification thingy? i do.)

This was a really EASY Friday--for ME. Which illustrates the oddness of gimmies and the differences of mind. The whole top just seemed so straightforward that I kept penciling in lightly because so that when the hidden snarl emerged I could erase with a good heart!
Cummon: deadlock=impasse, sure. Then all those downs: meat, A Pop, stoic, ETs--surely not on Friday! (Santa Anna, now, is tougher for a Canadian, but Yanks should be inking it in.) Same thing in Newfoundland: adieu, elm, span, Ah So.
I'm thinking, well, Manny's just leading us gently into the big 15s, where he will kill us. Lets see: Della, Otoes, freely, riata, otter -- A Lot On Ones Plate fairly leaps out.
I'm not complaining, mind you. Never did get the bottom right corner, even with escorting and boa in place. No idea what you have on the back of your quarter. Thought maybe a crik ran in a coulee. Didn't spot those Xs at all at all. Happy that the half-hour I spent on a Friday got me that far.
But Medium difficulty--no way!

timetraveller, I don't recall much of this puzzle...I should probably keep my hard copy around until the syndicated puzzle runs.
It's always interesting, though, to read that someone breezed through something I struggled with...or vice versa.

It is a profound question with a myriad of answers and few solutions: What makes people so susceptible to fascism? Who are those flag-waving throngs cheering on their proud leader? And why do they cheerfully support a figurehead and system that works against their own self-interests? Are they gullible, naive to the point of complete self-chosen ignorance? Are they maniacal narcissists bent on proving their superiority to the world? Or are they scared of acting like they don't agree with the mob? Because, as Ronnie James Dio sings, the Mob rules. But fascism and it's various philosophical and psychological faces rule the Mob. Fear is the ultimate tool of control and fascist leaders know it and use it well. But in order to understand why people fall prey to fascism's spell, we must understand the nature of the beast. Governments, religions and cults use fear as a tool of control because when humans are scared, they are easy to control and manipulate. Fear is the ultimate weapon for it works on your own people as well as your enemies.
A little history: Benito Mussolini invented the term fascism in the 1920s and the philosophy it was built on was based in controlling people with fear and repression. Mussolini's own words:
"The Fascist conception of the State is all-embracing; outside of it no human or spiritual values can exist, much less have value. Thus understood, Fascism is totalitarian, and the Fascist State -- a synthesis and a unit inclusive of all values -- interprets, develops, and potentiates the whole life of a people."
Ah yes, the State. The State which rules supreme against socialism, liberalism, democracy and individualism. The connection to religion is strong too. Again, Benito's words:
"Fascism is a religious conception in which man is seen in his immanent relationship with a superior law and with an objective Will that transcends the particular individual and raises him to conscious membership of a spiritual society. Whoever has seen in the religious politics of the Fascist regime nothing but mere opportunism has not understood that Fascism besides being a system of government is also, and above all, a system of thought."
Fascism models itself on one of the best sales pitches in the world, that of organized religion. Fascism needs it's followers to engage in docile servitude to the all-powerful State. They model it on organized religion's ability to control its followers en masse via fear (of the all-powerful God) and repression (of human nature, needs and rights). When you witness religious conflicts you see people on both sides who are under control. None of them is fighting for true justice, liberty, freedom or democracy. They are fighting each other due to simple dogmatic differences that are inflamed by their leaders with hate, fear and repression. They are fed this rhetoric from day one and they simply know no other way to act out. And this is how their leaders want it or it would truly be over. Take the Taliban in Afghanistan. They are certainly set on controlling society under the strictest Islamic Sharia law and they could be referred to as authoritarian, fundamentalist and/or totalitarian. But a totalitarian or authoritarian government is not necessarily a fascist one. Those characteristics only play a part in what makes a government or ruling power fascist. Add to the mix some flag-centric nationalism, some uber-macho militarism and a corporatist hierarchy that puts all the "right" people in power and you've got the makings of a top notch fascist regime. Now take your message to the airwaves and fill it with fear because fear leads to control (talking to you, Fox News). And if you control the airwaves, all the better. Fear is a powerful weapon because it works. It works on people individually but also collectively, such as a crowd panicking and trampling those in their midst.
President Franklin Roosevelt, in his inaugural address, stated simply:
"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself -- nameless, unreasoning, unjustified, terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance."
And then in 1942, Roosevelt had this to say:
"The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism -- ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power."
In America, our controlling private powers are corporations. Powerful, rich and globally connected, the corporations that privately control us do it in a myriad of ways. And as in most capitalistic societies, they benefit enormously. This is not a call to socialism or a a screed against the elite; you need not dig deep or at all to see the corporate ownership of all things in our society. Ownership of media companies connected to Defense companies connected to consumer product companies (talking to you, General Electric), multi-headed hydras that all breathe from a central command and control. And that command and control owns our government. By Roosevelt's definition, we are under a state of fascism in this country. Or as Cindy Sheehan so eloquently put it "a fascist corporate wasteland." But it takes two sides of the equation and for fascism to work, let alone exist, it needs people under its spell.
For those of us who see fascism for what it is, we are not cowed by the party line, we are not blind to the naked emporer and we know that if we don't stand up and point that out, we are headed for disaster. But how do we point that out to people under control? How do you convince people under the spell of a grand illusion that it is, in fact, not real? Though I don't have an answer, I yearn for one because I see the danger of a mob under control. I see it in the arms raised to salute Hitler. I see it in the suicide bombings across the Middle East. I see it in fundamentalist churches, in street and prison gangs, in the listeners of the right wing bigots and hatemongers (yes, Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh, I'm talking to you.) Do you ever wonder why people still listen to Rush Limbaugh or tune in to Bill O'Reilly? Why Bush still has any approval rating at all? Do you wonder why those people can't see they are being rooked, duped, manipulated and used?
The larger point I'd like to make is that when you look at the principles and philosophies of fascism, you can clearly see their presence in the last six years of American society. There are three sources I'd like to reference that put this fact into perspective and illustrate how America has become Fascist.
The first is the article "Fascism Anyone?" by Laurence Britt, which is expertly broken down by POAC in this article as follows:
1.) Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
2.) Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
3.) Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
4.) Supremacy of the Military
5.) Rampant Sexism
6.) Controlled Mass Media
7.) Obsession with National Security
8.) Religion and Government are Intertwined
9.) Corporate Power is Protected
10.) Labor Power is Suppressed
11.) Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
12.) Obsession with Crime and Punishment
13.) Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
14. Fraudulent Elections
The second is Naomi Klein's excellent April 2007 article entitled "Fascist America in 10 Easy Steps", in which she describes Fascism as follows:
1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy
2. Create a gulag (Guantanamo will do)
3. Develop a thug caste
4. Set up an internal surveillance system
5. Harass citizens' groups
6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release
7. Target key individuals
8. Control the press
9. Dissent equals treason
10. Suspend the rule of law
The third is an illustration not of fascism's tenets but of how fascism is used to start a war, much like it was used to start our Iraq debacle. On the excellent "George Washington's Blog" is a piece called "Introduction to False Flag Terror" which shows how flag-waving nationalism is used to support an pre-approved agenda via a national tragedy, an incident that is seen as an attack on the country which could then be countered by military retaliation. (It helps that you retaliate against the right country, of course.) But the truth is this: when fascism is used to justify a war with a particular country or race, that is a situation with some sort of definition of an enemy. But when fascism is used to justify a war with a vague enemy ("terrorists") or a noun ("terrorism") it has no end, no definition of success and enough vague grey areas that it makes a perfect target for fascist regimes. A War on Terror or Terrorism never ends because it constantly creates more of the enemy it is "trying" to defeat. The defense industry practically encourages the cycle because it's good for business. No enemy, no business.
It takes three components to make fascism work: government, corporations and people. We all know how governments and corporations can be corrupt and we certainly have seen how large populations of people can succumb to the sway of nationalism and fear. But what we haven't figured out is how to inoculate people against this disease, how to give them a bullshit detector that works and doesn't allow any attempt at fascist control to attain even a modicum of success. At this low point in American history, we should have riots in the streets calling for the impeachment and/or arrest of the Bush/Cheney cabal but instead, we have a large majority of the population sitting idly, waiting for someone else to step in and do something about it. "Why doesn't somebody do something?" they ask. But until you realize that somebody is YOU, this shameful situation will persist. History will not judge this generation kindly. It seems the Me Generation has turned into the Anybody But Me Generation, waiting for a revolution that somebody else starts up, waiting for a bandwagon they can jump on to say "Look! I too care about this travesty!" Where are your guts, people? Where are your balls? Have you traded them for iPods and Starbucks, proverbial fingers in your ears and nose down in your latte until it all blows over? It is long past the time to wake up and act and it doesn't have to take money and politics to create big change. It just has to take knowing what is at stake and acting with conviction. Think of Ghandi. Think of Martin Luther King. Think of Guy Fawkes - remember, remember the Fifth of November! One individual can make all the difference in this world. Why can't that person be you?

I've done a few posts on the controversy over Newark Mayor Corey Booker's comments about Bain Capital being a "nauseating" issue and also reviewed a DVD of the movie "Street Fight" 5 years ago about his early political career. He is one of the country's most fascinating up and coming (but not up and coming as much due to his comments) mayors.
And now I think I've found the perfect birthday gift for him — and it's incredibly cheap:
You can even buy it used (used plastic vomit is so much nicer than used real vomit).
This could also be useful for independent voters, particularly those who get to hear part of Rush Limbaugh's show.

From her front steps yesterday, Frances Ferguson, 72, hovered and watched as dozens of kids played unfettered in the middle of the street, squealing and splashing.
Ferguson's block, the 2300 block of Nicholas Street in North Philly, is now a Play Street.
Through the city recreation department program, Ferguson applied for a permit to have her narrow, one-way street cordoned off from 10 am to 4 pm. Then she and her neighbors pitched in to buy five inflatable pools.
"It's hot," said Ferguson, the longtime block captain, who has lived on Nicholas Street all of her life. "And the kids, they don't have much to do around here, just run up and down the street. I figured I could give them some free time."
The rec department provides free lunch, usually sandwiches, fruit, milk and juice, and a snack, through a state subsidy. The program has been around for decades, with about 800 Play Streets throughout the city.
Ferguson's block joined this summer.
With students out of school, Ferguson hopes to also provide them with some board games, toys, and maybe even a few big wheels.
"We try to get dollar store toys for them," she said, "but they don't last too long."
For now, she's content.
Today, watching dozens of kids swim, laugh and play on her street, she noted, "they seem to be having a pretty good time."
For more information on Play Streets, contact the Recreation Department at 215.685.2719.

Best Back Pain Relief Exercises
Heal Your Back With All These Great Tips Drinking coffee was reported to assist with relieving chronic back pain. The adenosine is blocked by the caffeine. The compound causes stiffness back, but by drinking coffee it is helpful to stretch your muscles out also that prevents aggravation.
Do not stand slouched for whatever, even chores such as vacuuming. Back pain by vacuuming is a result of this vacuum which causes one of the constant pulling and pushing. Keep decent posture by standing up and together with your legs instead of your spine when you're vacuuming. Any pain can be prevented by this.
It's pretty much impossible to sleep a bloated tummy, also lying on your back pressure on the trunk. Sleeping on one side would be your very best method loss.

Shaheen Afridi ready to learn on the job ahead of first World Cup
May 27 (CRICKETNMORE) - Being branded the next Wasim Akram, compared to Mitchell Starc by your coach and given the reins to Pakistan's bowling attack would daunt most 19-year-olds.
But as the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup approaches, teenage pace sensation Shaheen Afridi is reassured by the weight of experience in his side's ranks.
Also Read: Chris Gayle is an inspiration for me says Ross Taylor
The 6ft 6in youngster is leaning heavily on the experience of Mohammad Amir and Wahab Riaz, with 130 ODIs between them, ahead of the tournament in England & Wales.
"It's very good to have them in the squad," said Afridi.
"It's good for us and the team to have them back.
"They are very senior and experienced players. They have played a lot of cricket around the world and for Pakistan.
"It's good for me, as this is my first World Cup, to have very senior players alongside me in the bowling attack."
This is Afridi's first appearance at a senior showpiece but he represented his country at the ICC Under-19 World Cup in 2018, claiming 12 wickets in five matches.
His considerable skill immediately came to the fore in Pakistan's three-match ODI series against New Zealand in 2018, taking nine wickets at 11.33.
This month's series clash with England was an uncomfortable experience for Pakistan bowlers, who conceded over 300 runs in all four completed matches.
But with their second warm-up match against Bangladesh washed out, Afridi hailed the importance of the five-match series for their preparation.
"We have trained very well recently," he said.
"We have already played a full series against England so we already feel ready for the World Cup.
"It was a tough series for our team. We were playing against the number one side in the world at home.
"But we learned a lot and it was good preparation because the big stage is coming."

We are constantly hearing that we, as humanity, know so much, have become so powerful – but what is the state of *your* power and knowledge, really?
Education nowadays is, for a larger proportion of people than ever before, a much less restricted endeavor than it has ever been.
There may be (functionally) illiterate people even in developed, industrial, "rich" societies with compulsory schooling, and there are those who would like to keep women or the young in general – or everyone – from learning those "dangerous" ideas that don't agree with their (oftentimes religious) convictions.
Yet, there is more learning, and it is more widespread, than ever before. You don't need to be a monk or a member of a high class to study and practice your reading and writing, you are expected to acquire that skill anyways. And it doesn't end with the reading of religious scriptures, either, but many more areas of knowledge are usually being taught.
Access to information and potential knowledge is much easier, too, whether in the form of books or in the shape of the various tools offered online.
But, what do we really know, let alone are capable of explaining or doing with that knowledge, as individuals?
The thought had struck me as I was watching (the new) "Cosmos. A Spacetime Odyssey."
Imagine yourself thrown into one of the scenes of the past that they present in animated drawings. If your schooling wasn't half bad, you'll have heard about the things they talk about before.
From the heliocentric universe and the Newtonian Laws of Motion to the basic tenets of biological evolution and the quantum character of the subatomic world, at least something of it is usually taught. It feels somewhat familiar.
What, however, if you were there, thrown back in time?
It's easy to watch what's being presented on the screen and shake one's head, be that in puzzlement or in agreement over things heard before, wondering about a time when such (often basic) ideas where hotly debated questions – but how much of it do you understand; to what extent would you even be able to point Newton in the right direction in which his answers lie, for example?
The issue only becomes all the more puzzling when we look at how the technological future of mankind is often presented as our saving grace.
We certainly have come a long way. From the very first generation of electricity and the first telephone and wireless transmissions to wireless access to high-speed optical-fiber-transmitted internet and smartphones, it's been quite a rush.
But what of it could we repair and rebuild if push comes to shove, given how few people know anything much about the way these things work and are built, as well as how specialized (and geographically spread out, but at the same time, concentrated) their production has become?
It's a good thought for realizing how (inter)dependent we are, how powerless we are alone – and at the same time, considering how much small local communities have been able to do and how much more we would (or should we say, could?!) now know.
It's an observation by which to get motivated to actually learn more of what we think we know, develop some of the skills that have always been a part of life but are oftentimes lost as consumer society encourages us to forget about them in favor of the convenience – if that's what it really is – of just buying everything.

Everything went together smoothly for assembly. Love the green color.
folds, Has good weight support great attachments. (Pullup bar, wallball, dips, landmine)
once it is folded out, it is solid for doing pullups squats, bench etc.
Can fold in or out when storing it.
Great to have a power rack that can fold up when you are done.
Another excellent product from fringe.
No westside spacing in the squat and bench area. I'm 5'11 and the ideal spot for squats for me is between the top and 2nd top squat hole. Would have been nice to have the westside spacing there, but I'm still able to make it work.
The included accessories are the only ones that currently fit this rack, but we have stand-alone storage options available.
A 2x6" stringer would be perfect for installation.

Hello! Last week I showed off the postcards I'd made for iHanna's Spring 2015 Postcard Swap, so now it's time to show off the ones others made for me. So far 6 out of 10 have shown up in my mailbox, which is a good rate of return considering it's been about a week since the postcards were supposed to be sent out.
Delivered from Colorado. The book text and Paris image are cool, but I especially liked the pictures of the two women. The artist said these were from a 1940 woman's magazine. Just the sort of thing I would have used!
Didn't take a pic, but the back of the postcard was decorated in a dazzling burst of colorful markers. The artist also mentioned that she'd made an extra postcard to mail to herself. I hadn't thought of either of these ideas, but now I know for the next swap!
Sent from Maine. The pale tan on the postcard is actually birch bark. It came from from trees the artist and her family cut down to build their homestead. How cool is that? Have never used birch bark in crafting myself!
I couldn't read the postmark on the back, so all I know is that this postcard came from somewhere in the US. Nice combination of colors and images here! The spiral image is on top of book text - can't go wrong with that.
The artist that created this postcard lives in Minneapolis. It's quite complex in detail, but since the designs are somewhat subtle, this art piece lends itself to closer examination. I got a kick out of the rows of numbers, though I don't know what they came from.
It definitely did not feel like a summer morning yesterday when I received this postcard: cool and rainy. Therefore, I appreciated this bright colors and the thought of summer that this postcard conveyed! It came from Mississippi, where undoubtedly their mornings feel more like summer.
Last one:
This postcard has a San Diego postmark, so perhaps the use of bright colors ties in with that southern California locale. The artist explained she had made her own stamps out of foam, then added the black marker doodles and added definitions for the word "psychedelic". Very cool and colorful!
I now eagerly await the remaining four postcards. Makes a visit to the mailbox more fun than usual!

Doomsday Dinners
We asked some popular personalities: if the world were really ending tomorrow, what would you have for your last meal?
(SPOT.ph) The world is ending. Again. No, really. And for once we seem to have divine beings on our side because it's the universe, or fate, or whatever you'd rather call it that's going to do us in this time. This has an ancient civilization's knowledge to fortify its street cred, with the Mayan calendar stopping four days before Christmas of this year. How arbitrary and quite frankly, insensitive. What about our hams and fruitcakes?
While we're all preparing to party like it's the end of the world, are we all ready for feasting before the end of the world? We've pitched The Last Supper question to your favorite celebrities. We know this is more appropriate for Holy Week but we might not make it to next year and we'll take any excuse to eat merrily.
Lourd de Veyra, writer/SPOT.ph blogger/broadcaster: Pa-iba-iba. Ngayong gabi, sweet and sour shrimp balls at madaming madaming kanin. Kung kaninang lunch ka nagtanong, monggo.
Igan D'Bayan, writer/artist: Peksilog: Peking duck, singangag at itlog.
Ebe Dancel, musician: Yabu! Yabu! Yabu! Yabu with my whole family.
Erwan Heussaff, Esquire Philippines Food and Drink columnist/blogger: I wouldn't have a meal, I'd have a feast: truffle mashed potato, Cebu lechon, beef belly, venison steaks, a whole turkey, some Kansas-style pork ribs, a bottle of single cask single malt whisky, and a banana.
Liz Uy, celebrity stylist: Lechon with hot rice and Mang Tomas! After that I can die na!
Carlos Celdran, artist/activist: Pritchon. A whole one. No questions asked. With hot white deadline rice. Frozen Brazo de Mercedes to cap it off.
Anton del Rosario, athlete: My last meal would be consisting of sushi-break-pizza-break-Kobe steak-break-hot fudge sundae and coffee. I'm a fat guy at heart!
Apples Aberin, model/writer: I think I'd go for a weirdly mouth-watering combination of sushi (hamachi and salmon), grilled Wagyu beef, fresh oysters, lechon and Japanese rice! More importantly, I'd invite all the people I love most to enjoy the feast with me.
Jessica Mendoza, DJ/FHM.com.ph columnist: I am torn! Between as much specialty sushi as I could possibly eat, or a steaming plate of tapsilog. Both?
Gino Quillamor, DJ: Easy answer. Crispy pata, steak with garlic butter sauce, rice, Coke and an entire box of Belgian chocolates...or maybe two.
Chico Garcia, DJ: Since breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, [I'd go to] a breakfast buffet at any hotel and eat platefuls of cold cuts, bacon, ham, sausages, eggs, garlic rice, bead and butter. Then cake and ice cream and coffee after.
Miriam Defensor-Santiago, senator: The world still has 4, 500 billion years of life left, but if the world will end, I will go on a hunger strike so there will be no last meal.
Becky Kho, editor-in-chief, ELLE Decoration Philippines: I would love to have one perfectly baked, fresh-out-of-the-oven pain au chocolat, like the one I recently had in a French-style bakery in Seoul.
Peejo Pilar, editor-in-chief, Men's Health: There's nothing more sumptuous and desperate than having a roast suckling pig before your untimely demise. Like the crunchy and juicy pre-skewered pig on your table, I will be dying in a blaze of glory with my mouth wide open. Not filled with an apple, but more of the shock of suddenly kicking the bucket. But a lechon for me would be the ultimate last supper. Not only is a 10 kilo pig (note: good for 25-30 people. Oh yes.) one of the most delicious things you can eat, the total fat content would be enough to put you in a cholesterol induced coma or at least knock you out long enough not to care about what tomorrow may bring. Who could join me in this dizzying feast? I think my wife and family will be joining me in stuffing our faces before Armageddon. All former vegetarians are welcome.
Kim Atienza, broadcaster: I would like to eat the biggest rib-eye steak with all the fat and all the white rice I can eat! I have been on a low-fat diet and brown-rice diet for many years now.
Ramon Bautista, professor/endorser/ultimate slacker/professional pogi: 'Yung high protein na, high fiber pa...tuna tsaka oatmeal, ganun. Para pagdating ko sa langit, may abs ako.
Erwin Romulo, editor-in-chief, Esquire Philippines: A big, great juicy burger and ice cold beer. Actually, almost anything with beer. Meat and beer.
Lisa Gokongwei Cheng, president, Summit Media: The Miso Chashu at Ukokkei with my husband and two sons.
Lara Parpan, editor-in-chief, Women's Health: The world is ending? So what? I'll still be grateful. I'd have a good old Thanksgiving dinner with my twin sister and my family-Mom will make her awesome roast turkey with bread/celery/walnut stuffing, buttery garlic mashed potatoes, cranberry compote, apple-pumpkin-pecan pies with gobs of whipped cream on top and the best wines to match which we will start quaffing the day before. I'd love to have top Ironman champion Chrissie Wellington and her family and the Barack Obamas over as well to join my family for dinner.
Myrza Sison, editorial director, Cosmopolitan Philippines: I'd go for (1) carb-and-crab overload-a gigantic alimango fried in salted egg, chunks of pure crab fat eaten straight off the shell, aligue rice and aligue pasta; (2) fat, huge, juicy oysters cooked every which way-topped with caviar on a bed of vermicelli, and tempura'd with wasabi, and in an oyster omelette; (3) tubs of gorgonzola gelato and salted caramel ice cream, boxes of white truffle macarons-instant happy death!
Lea Salonga, Tony-award-winning actress: Oh I love food of any kind, but my last meal would have to be with my entire family.
Divine Lee, celebrity: Lechon!

Today is the day.
Frankly, it's a day I never thought about getting to, much less planned for.
When I started this blog, it was as an experiment… an add-on to a weekly-updated website I'd been running for two years, which in turn was an outgrowth of the weekly column I ran on many BBS's back in the 80's.
But apparently, the experiment's been working.
Two years, already, now.
After 2900 posts and change,
After well over a million words typed,
After around 100,000 site hits
After 3 major site re-designs,
I can honestly say..
It's been interesting, and fun, these last two years.
I only hope you, my readers have gotten nearly as much out of this as I have.
If you're curious, have a look down the right column… there's all the stuff I've posted to Bit'sBlog, these last two years, in archive form.

Kirvan, German Help Owls Blank Bulldogs
SPRINGFIELD, IL -- Stephanie Kirvan and Brittainy German each scored twice as the William Woods University women's soccer team rolled to a 7-0 win over American Midwest Conference newcomers Benedictine University at Springfield on Tuesday night.
The Owls opened the scoring in the 13th minute, converting a free kick opportunity. Kirvan finished off the opportunity created by Amy Faus and Jordan McNamara.
A flurry of goals around the half-hour mark put the game out of reach, as Kirvan notched her second of the night in the 34th minute off an assit from German, with German adding one of her own just under 100 seconds later. Ashley Deckard earned the assist on German's 36th minute strike, but the sophomore transfer from Saint Charles Community College did all the work in the 39th minute for her second of the night.
After taking a 4-0 lead into halftime, William Woods wasted no time adding to their lead in the second half. Jamie Palermo struck with just 34 seconds gone in the period, picking up her fourth career goal.
Deckard would add another assist on the night, this time finding Kaitlyn Wideman in the 68th minute, with the redshirt freshman tallying her first career goal.
The Owls would add a seventh in the 81st minute, as Ashley McCaffrey picked up her first collegiate point with an assist to Faus.
Kelly Abernathy was hardly tested as she earned her first shutout of the year. The junior keeper was only called upon to make two saves over the 90 minutes of action. WWU posted a 17-2 edge in shots on goal, recording a 27-10 overall edge in shots.
William Woods returns home for a brief two-game homestand, hosting Ottawa University on Saturday in a non-conference match. Kickoff for the game, presented by Joe Machens Dealerships, is set for 2 p.m. at Firley Field.

Starship Titanic And Its 'Accidental Community'
December 28, 2010 10:00 AM | Eric Caoili
Last week, Metafilter featured an informative and intriguing post on The Digital Village's Starship Titanic, a 1988 adventure game designed by Douglas Adams and based on the doomed craft briefly alluded to in the third Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy book, Life, the Universe and Everything.
The post is already an excellent resource for anyone wanting to play the abandonware game or check out the stuff that that was included with original copies (a fictional newspaper, bot profiles, and more), but it gets even more fascinating when Yoz Grahame, one of the developers who worked on Startship Titanic, stops by.
He shares some fun trivia about Adams and the game's development, as well as insight on a Starship Titanic promotional site that featured a cute easter egg that's since taken a life of its own:
"When we created the initial fake-brochure site, we thought it'd be a fantastic laugh if the fictional shipbuilders had their own intranet. If you filled in the form on the brochure site (specifying your name, email address and favourite species of frog), we followed the occasional mail about the game.
Then, one day, folks got a mail from the intranet admin, 'Chris Stevedave', giving folks the link to the intranet and the current password, which was hurriedly followed by a second mail apologising for the accidental mail leakage and urging customers not to click the link, then a third email noting that Chris Stevedave had been demoted to Bilge Emptier Third-Class.
It worked fantastically (so fantastically that some people really did send the emails back, reassuring us that they hadn't looked at the site); everyone poured into the Starlight Lines intranet.
Grahame says the intranet area was originally just a read-only Senior Management forum that offers visitors a peek at "some of the key backstory characters getting on each others' nerves", but he ended up spending half a day hacking a basic writeable forum for lower-level employees, or players, and forgot about it shortly afterward.
When he remembered to check the employee forum six months after the site launched, he found that there were already ten thousand posts on the forum:
Because it was buried one password and six clicks into the site, only a few dedicated people found it, and found each other. And once they were there, they started roleplaying Starlight Lines, and didn't stop evolving a long and bizarre narrative for the next thirteen years. When TDV died I moved the forum to my own hosting; every so often one of the players will poke me because something's broken, and I'll eventually fix it and they can carry on with their adventures.
It's been thirteen years of hosting an accidental community. It's somewhat like ignoring the vegetable drawer of your fridge for a year, then opening it to find a bunch of very grateful sentient tomatoes busily working on their third opera. It's one of the most remarkable things I've seen on the internet and I'm honoured to have inadvertently helped create it, not least because it got me a few fun speaking gigs."
