Google started it. Yeah, blame them. Blame them hard and often. Back in 1996, two Stanford PhD students came up with a "better" way to categorize and rank websites in order to create an index that would help people find treasure amid that horrifying mess of 488,000 registered domains. Can you even imagine? Almost half a million websites?
At the time, the search engine landscape was pretty impressive, with such luminaries as Alta Vista, Infoseek, Lycos, and others whose fame and glory lives on to this day…. no wait. Check that. They are all completely forgotten. This is because every one of them relied completely on things like keyword density and the keyword metatag to rank sites for their search results. Which, it turns out, was really really really easy to game. So you'd see sites selling tennis shoes with the words "free sex mp3" appearing like 4 thousand times at the bottom of the page. Fun days for us SEO youngsters!
Until those Stanford brainiacs came up with a little thing they called "Backrub." Which was an algorithmic way to categorize sites based—not on their content—but on their popularity. Well, the boys took out a few patents, tweaked the thing by adding a couple of hundred other mysterious ranking factors, named it Google, grew to gigantic size practically overnight, went APO, and became the richest geeks in the universe.
Which is getting ahead of our story, just a bit. Because at first, this new approach truly ruled the net. Google grew to enormous size because their search results were amazing. Compared to all the once-was engines, it was revolutionary. If you entered something into the little white box, you actually stood a decent chance of finding a relevant page or two. Remarkable!
Pages stuffed with irrelevant keywords suddenly dropped way, way down the ranks in favor of sites that lots of people had made lots of links to, just because they were awesome.
Time passed, and Google evolved. They tweaked and fine-tuned. They worked tirelessly to make their little engine the best little engine. And all the while, we SEO-types schemed and plotted to mess it all up. What we wanted to do (and still want to do, of course) was trick the Mighty Google into thinking our sites were better than our competitors' sites, whether they were actually relevant to the search or not. We did this in many ways. We'd come up with something that really seriously gamed the algo and won top ranks, then Google would counter with more tweaks. So we'd think of something else.
This escalation cycle has gone on continuously since the first Google release. Google wants to make all the content on the internet easy to locate through a simple keyword search. We want to sidetrack, obfuscate, control, and manipulate those searches to point you to sites that have paid us to do so.
Sniff. Sometimes we're a little ashamed. Most of the time we're figuring out new ways to short-circuit Google's algorithm.
Which brings us to backlinks. And the Trouble with them.
As of the latest survey of SEO pros from the good folk at SEOMoz (which we highlighted as a Site of the Week a few weeks ago), the consensus is that links still account for something 40% of the Google algorithm. So they still carry a boatload of weight.
Even though we SEOs have been busy jamming up the works with fake links, crappy links, irrelevant links, imaginary links, 8-way reciprocal links, purchased links, blog comment spam links, and any other kind of oh-so-clever link garbage we can imagine, backlinks still work.
Which is a pity, really. Because goddamnit, we might be SEOs, but we want to be able to find stuff on the internet! And just like you and everyone else, we frequently can't. Find. A. Damn. Thing. In fact, we just spent something like 2 hours trying to find the data for the graph we posted above. Pssffffffft.
I guess you makes your bed, you gets to lie in it.

To the 5 budget hotels that I have enjoyed, there are at least 50 that I didn't. Some of them were outright nightmares. One day I will talk about them too. Thinking about those experiences, I guess they will generate more conversation but for today I talk about the good ones.
One word of caution about the word budget itself. In India any random hotel charges 1500. The hotels I talk about could cost up to 3000 Indian Rupees. For me all I need in a budget hotel is clean bed, clean bathroom with hot water, if it is a really hot place then air conditioning. I do not look for anything else beyond it.
The Waterfall within Shringi Vatika Premises
5. Shringi Vatika, Himachal Pradesh: Shringi Vatika has a waterfall within its premises, it has a small flour mill too. The couple Mr and Mrs Manohar Lal, who run it, give out a few rooms out of their own house. They do have a restaurant though. They cook some awesome Himachali dishes like sidu, sweet rajma and nettle leaf soup. This is a place to go to if you like to go on long walks.It is also a place to go to if you want to do nothing. It is on the old Shimla Manali highway between Banjar and Ghiyagi. I have been here twice and on my second trip my nephew who eats non-veg thought very highly of the food (my experience of the trip here).
View from the Balcony, Holiday Home, Palampur
4. Holiday Home, Palampur: I went to Palampur before the 16th December Gang Rape in Delhi. I just turned up there without pre-booking anything. I had seen good reviews of Holiday Home on Tripadvisor. This hotel is run by a couple, Sher Saklani and Shakuntala Saklani. They rent out a few rooms out of their own home. Their new wing is outside but as I was a solo traveler they offered one of the rooms inside the house. They told me they don't take in single men unless they are recommended by someone who has stayed with them before. The rooms are clean, there is a small TV and the bathroom has hot water and is really clean. They cook the food for you in the family kitchen. It is served hot and it is delicious. The view from the balcony is fabulous too. I found it absolutely safe as a solo female traveler. But that was before 16th December. I still do FAM trips alone but I have not gone out in India solo after this trip without a FAM offer (the hotel's official website here).
Breeze Backwater Homes, Alappuza, Kerala
3. Breeze Backwater Homes, Alappuza, Kerala: Breeze Backwater Homes has just four rooms. Each of those rooms are between 5-10 steps away from the Vembanad Lake. They serve delicious South Indian food and they make good tea as well. It is place where you go and do nothing. The trees within the premises attract many species of birds. They own a canoe and a house boat both hand powered. There are hammocks to lie down in and read a book. If you feel inclined to lift a finger go on a cycling tour of the village and go for a canoe ride. If you wish to stay in the house boat that is also possible. A gem of a place, go there before it is discovered (hotel official website link).
The Stairs from the Thaporban Beach House Leading to the Unawatuna Beach, Sri Lanka
2. Thaporban Beach House, Unawatuna, Sri Lanka: The location is to die for. You climb down the ladder at the back of the hotel and you straight get down on to the Unawatuna beach. Unawatuna figures regularly in various top 100 beaches of the world lists. They have various category of rooms and their standard rooms used to cost $55. It used to be less than 3000 Indian Rupees when the rupee was not in a free fall. The rooms were clean, air conditioned and well maintained, the bathroom was clean and had hot water. They have a nice deck overlooking the sea where they serve food. The best part about the hotel was their staff. It was such a cheerful and friendly bunch. It was actually cheaper for me to travel to Sri Lanka than many destinations in India (official website of the hotel here).
The Trekking Lodges in Nepal
1. An Ode to Trekking Lodges in Nepal: I have trekked twice in Nepal to the Everest Base Camp and the Annapurna Circuit. Both are remote regions, Everest Base Camp more than Annapurna Circuit. They are high altitude treks, these are cold regions. But was this any excuse to keep the basic lodges less than clean? Never did I stay in a lodge that was not clean, really clean. Food can be variable not because they don't cook it well but because at higher altitudes it is very difficult to eat anything anyway. I can keep singing praises for the trekking lodges in Nepal. On my first trek I thought they were clean because my guide knew which lodges were clean. But when I found them clean on my second trip too, I asked my guide. And he said as a rule most of them are clean. But this applies only to the trekking lodges only and not to the city budget hotels in Kathmandu or Beshishahar ( my Everest Base Camp and Annapurna Circuit Trek experiences here and here).
So which are some nice budget hotels that you have discovered?
I need one major trek every year to cope with my daily grind. And I eagerly look forward to it every year. I tried to trek through Annapurna Circuit in Nepal in June 2013 and the next major trek is now going to happen in June 2014 only. Yet I think of it daily and I talk about it daily. In the end it is going to be a toss between Spiti and Ladakh as after June there are only a few regions which are safe for trekking.
I thought it was about time I took you through my 5 most cherished treks till date.
Sar Pass, YHAI Trek, Himachal Pradesh
5. Sar Pass, Himachal Pradesh: Sar Pass was my first trek. It was my first trek with my husband. It was also the first time I saw snow. So, there are so many firsts associated with it. But I remember it most for my stupidity. I was trekking in a sneaker and I slipped and slipped on snow. After that I feared walking on snow. It is only now that I use good trekking shoes that I got over the fear of walking in snow. YHAI treks are so scenic but I have outgrown their big groups. YHAI treks are designed such that anyone with average fitness can do it. They are also quite economical. So you are thinking of trekking for the first time YHAI treks could be a good way to get started.
A Magnificent Rainow at Triund, Himachal Pradesh
4. Triund, Himachal Pradesh: Triund is an easy one day trek from McLeod Ganj in Himachal Pradesh. When I say easy I mean it is easier in comparison to other treks. It doesn't mean you will not get tired. Our original plan was to cross the Indrahar Pass but there was too mush snow beyond Lehs Cave. We had to give up the trek but that has never bothered me much. This was the last trek my husband and I did together. We adopted Chhavi after this and since then we take turns to trek.
Valley of Flowers, Uttarakhand
3. Valley of Flowers, Uttarakhand: Valley of flowers was on my agenda since 2002. I managed to do it in 2012. It breaks my heart to think that the region got affected in the massive flooding this year. Valley of Flowers is a tea house trek and once again it is not very difficult on the relative scale. The first day involves walking only for 12 kilometers on a mildly uphill terrain. There are tea house all along where you get food to eat. So looking for a stream to fetch water on this trek. You can stay in lodges and eat out of a menu.
Village Langza, Trekking in Spiti, Himachal Pradesh
2. Spiti, Himachal Pradesh: I wish to visit both Spiti and Ladakh again. Next year it is going to be a toss between these two. My husband, elder nephew and I trekked through Spiti in 2007. It was a homestay trek, an unforgettable one. Spiti is a high altitude trek and that requires some getting used to. I hardly knew any photography then (not that I know much now) but my pictures from the region are so beautiful because the region is so beautiful. I have to go back. I also missed out on Chandratal, so have to go back for that too. Spiti should be on every traveler's agenda whether you trek or just visit the region.
Gorekshep, The Last Stop Before the Everest Base Camp, Nepal
1. Everest Base Camp: I managed to stumble through the Everest Base Camp in Nepal in May 2012. It was tough and I was never sure if I would last till I reached there in the end. It has been the most difficult trek I ever did in my life. It was also the start of my love affair with Nepal, though it was not my first trip to Nepal. Will I ever do it again? Only if my daughter or my niece wants to do it with me.
I have always shied away from writing about how I manage to travel with a full time job and a family. I once even gave a talk on the same topic with TUI. I work full time as an Associate Professor and we adopted our daughter in 2009. It helps that my husband is a travel enthusiast. So here are 5 ways in which I manage to travel more.
What She Likes Best- Playing in Sand and Mud
5. Family Travel: My husband and I love to travel and my daughter is too small to have an opinion. We shudder to think of the day when she will prefer Disney Land over a trek! We do not drag her on long distance trips but she has enjoyed Rishikesh, Manali, Alwar and a few more with us. The best was when my husband took her to a trek and she walked to the snow line! She has already slept in a tent. Only I was not there. But we take all opportunities to travel and whoever can go will go, no sentimentality involved here. My husband and I also take turns to travel. I can only say in my defense that he started it. We were supposed trek to Triund together and I became mildly unwell. He still went ahead saying I would not become better if he stayed home! And anyway my father was around to take care of me! I am lucky that my extended family stays two doors away and between all of us we manage to travel.
I have two grown up nephews who are excellent travel companions. Sometimes I go with them. After all I am now at that age where I am very particular about the people I travel with.
4. Finding Safe Places to Travel: After we adopted Chhavi in October 2009 my husband ran to trek in the summer of 2010. I was left gaping after his disappearing back. As our daughter is too small to be dragged on a major treks (and trekking is an annual pilgrimage for me) I realized I have to find safe places to trek alone. In the summer of 2011 I tried trekking with a group. It was a safe group but I am getting old and the youngsters run all through the way. So, I switched to Nepal as it gets a lot of solo woman trekkers. I am not noticed there so much. I could have been invisible but for being Indian. There are not too many solo Indian women in the region and hence many curious questions come my way. But with a trusted trekking agency and a guide I have always felt safe in Nepal. Also we have trusted guides both in Himachal and Uttarakhand. I have trekked solo in Uttarakhand with Sohan Singh Bisht.
Watching my Leaves with a Sharp Eye!
3. Watching my Leaves: I watch my leaves with a sharp eye. After all I have a limited number of leaves and I like to stretch them as far as I can. It help that I have stayed in this job for more than 4 years and I have accumulated earned leaves as well. I will try to travel on all the extended weekends and make my travel plans around them. It helps that in teaching there is a slack period called summer vacations. It is not that I do not have to go to work for all those months. But it is easier to take leave when the classes are off. It is almost impossible for me to take off if I have to adjust a class. So no Chadar Trek for me in January. I can't take 15 days off in January while the classes are going on. But then there are trade offs in every job I guess. There was a time when I would not even dream of quitting my job. But these days I am more undecided. I guess I just do not wish to quit my paycheck after all.
A second part to this is that I manage my work also. If I know I am traveling and I have a deadline during those days, I will finish the work before going. That way it is easier to ask for leave.
Falling in Place!
2. Just Booking the Tickets: There have been times when all the planning seems to yield no results. I can't think of a place, if I can think of a place none of the dates look feasible. In such a scenario if I can fix on anyone thing, I just do the tickets. Everything else then just falls in place!
With Dr. Ng Yen Yen, the Former Minister of Tourism, Malaysia
1. Getting Invited to Travel: When I started this blog in June 2005 (thank you Alka and Amrit, my sister and brother-in-law for giving me no peace till I got going) even in my wildest dreams I never imagined I would get invited to travel! That was the time when you mentioned the word blog people would give you queer glances! And if you happened to be an academician you were considered doubly crazy. Teachers don't have fun, nor do they have a life or so a lot of people thought! Thankfully those days belong to the past now. I still have to manage my leaves but I have been lucky that many people within India do suit my dates. When a trip from abroad comes along I put on my best bargaining cloak and somehow manage to get those leaves.
I like traveling and blogging so much that it doesn't even feel like hard work!

It all goes back to the war on drugs
Neither would have happened were it not for the war on drugs.
Three of the four bad guys in New York were in prison... for drug offenses. In prison they "converted" and hatched their little plan.
And the guy who tried to kill a cop in Birmingham was fleeing... because of drugs.
We need to legalize drugs not because drugs are good, but because locking people up for drugs makes them worse.

I see what you're trying to say, but alcohol is legal. Yet people end up in jail for alcohol related offenses, or offenses committed while under the influence. So when legalizing drugs doesn't make a difference what will the answer be?
- May 25, 2009 at 8:23 PM
- PCM said...
The difference is that people go to jail for bad things they actually did while drunk. Not just because they possessed a bottle of booze.
I have no problem with locking up people for drug-related crimes. The problem is we've filled up our prisons--and created more criminals--because of prohibition itself.

What are your thoughts on accusations of entrapment by the authorities in the New York terrorist plot and that the informant was overly aggressive/pushy in recruiting these accused terrorists?
- May 26, 2009 at 2:43 PM
- PCM said...
I actually haven't followed it closely enough. I'll have to play catch up. Feel free to leave your thoughts.

Chicken Parmesan Enchiladas – SO good!! Chicken, cottage cheese, mozzarella, parmesan cheese, egg and parsley wrapped in flour tortillas and topped with spaghetti sauce. Fun twist on our usual manicotti! YUM! #chicken #casserole
I am always thinking of ways to change up our usual dishes. I came up with this idea that is a twist on pasta and Mexican night. I made a manicotti filling and rolled it into tortillas instead of pasta. It was great! It looked like manicotti, but it was much easier to make because you didn't have to boil any pasta.
I already know one question some of you will ask – what can I use instead of cottage cheese? You could substitute ricotta for the cottage cheese. I would urge you to give cottage cheese a try in this. I am a serious picky eater, and I like it in this. I don't eat cold cottage cheese, but I love it baked into casseroles. I like to use the 2% or 4% small curd cottage cheese. If a "plain chicken" girl can eat it, I know you can too!
Chicken Parmesan Enchiladas
- 2 cups cooked, chopped chicken
- 16-oz cottage cheese
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 Tbsp parsley
- 8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
- 1 (26-oz) jar spaghetti sauce
- Preheat oven to 375ºF.
- Combine chicken, cottage cheese, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, egg and parsley.
- Spray a 9×13 pan with cooking spray. Roll up chicken and cheese mixture in tortillas and place in pan seam side down.
- Pour sauce over tortillas and top with remaining cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

New Flavors for Appetizers: My First Cookbook
I've hinted at it for a long time but finally I can tell you about writing my first cookbook, New Flavors for Appetizers. Since it is now up on Amazon.com it's feels more real than ever. Here's how it all happened. The end of August last year I met with one of the senior editors at Weldon Owen, a publishing house that does lots of branded books. I learned about a new line of Williams-Sonoma cookbooks that was going to be launched in November of this year. They were looking to work with new writers and recipe developers, people who were comfortable with a variety of specialty ingredients and could develop fairly easy to execute recipes.
Not long after my first meeting I was offered a work-for-hire contract. So that means I got paid for developing the recipes and some headnotes (the little description that goes with the recipe title). This is unusual since most writers get an advance and then make more money based on how many books are sold. I was confident the book would be gorgeous, because Weldon Owen has been working with Williams-Sonoma on cookbooks for a long time.
The series is called New Flavors and focuses on ingredients that are becoming increasngly common such as wasabi, smoked paprika, cilantro, pomegranate, etc. All the recipes are organized by season and the photography is bolder and a bit more contemporary than in previous books. The cookbook I worked on was all appetizers. There are several other books coming out in the series, but doing appetizers was particularly fun. I can't imagine what it must have been like to do 45 chicken recipes! It may seem unusual, but I was given a list of recipe titles to work on. In some cases I suggested some changes but almost all of the ideas were really solid as is.
There were 45 recipes and only 8 weeks to get the first draft done. But I only had 6 weeks because I was in Japan for two of the weeks. I took copious notes and lots of pictures to help me document the process. Some days I worked on 4 or 5 recipes. Somehow it all came together. I had two more chances to test and make changes as the manuscript moved through copyediting and photography. This was fortunate because some seasonal ingredients were a bit hard to come by. But if you have to do a seasonal cookbook, the Fall in the Bay Area is a pretty good time to do it.
Since I started in the Fall and finished my last round of revisions in the Spring, I have cooked several of the recipes and served them at parties. I'm glad to say they have been very well received. It seems odd to have to ask for permission to reprint recipes I created, but that's how it works when you create recipes for a client. I do hope you will enjoy the book as much I enjoyed coming up with all the recipes. It will be available in Williams-Sonoma stores in September and in bookstores in November. Oh, and the photo on the cover? It's Buckwheat blini with Smoked Salmon and Horseradish Cream.

This week, I had a harder time focusing on painting and got caught up with administrative work at the Fayetteville Underground. However I did manage start another large 36x48" canvas, and I believe this one will be horizontal in orientation. We will see how it all works out. Next week will mostly be about preparing the galleries for the next First Thursday at the Fayetteville Underground. I am looking forward to having Thomas Petillo's photographs in the Hive for the month September. Not only will he have his work in the Hive but he will be in town for the reception!
Hive Gallery
September 1st through October 2nd 2010
Opening Reception September 2nd 5-8pm
Thomas Petillo is perhaps best known for his strikingly intimate portraits of great musicians (Robert Plant, Ben Folds, John Prine, Kid Rock and Porter Wagoner, to name only a few).Thomas has spent fifteen years honing the skills necessary to produce these beautiful images for record labels, magazines, and ad agencies. These portraits have come to define his style. But a very different Petillo has emerged in the last few years as the result of a series of commissions by Hammock, the ambient duo, who asked him to create images for their recordings. No matter his subject, Petillo's images are characterized by a delicate balance of stark realism and magical wonder, as if he stands with one foot in the spirit and the other in the flesh. This rare talent has given his work a singular imprint and has earned for him a distinguished place among contemporary photographers.
I hope all the locals will come out in droves and get to know Thomas' beautiful work and meet the artist himself. We have a wonderful September in store for you at the Underground, to read more about all the exhibitions that will be featured visit the Fayetteville Underground Blog.
And before all that kicks off, on this Saturday, August 28th at 11:00 am at the Underground. I will be giving an informal art talk on the exhibition Ghosts in the landscape #2, currently on display in the Hive by Christian Demare. This will be the final day of the exhibition, and I hope folks will come down and explore further Christian's dark, mysterious photographic worlds.
Those are the simple nuts and bolts of this artist's life for this week. There was more to it than all that, and I would like to write more about my process or my personal feelings about my art or the art world in general but the simple reportage style seems to work currently.
If you have bought my art either recently or long ago, if you have talked to me about my work, or taught me, if you have shared music with me that has inspired my art, or just supported me emotionally while I work, I just want to say thank you. I can't work alone in a vacuum, and the support I receive near and far is directly proportional to the work I put out. So, if you think I am a prolific artist, it is only because I have prolific supporters, so from the bottom of my heart I thank you all.
And as always, keep fighting. The world needs your art.

Fears for tourism as broken bridge traps Broads river traffic
There are concerns that a broken major road and river bridge in Norfolk could have a serious impact on tourism unless it is fixed soon.
The Haven Bridge is an important river crossing used by thousands of drivers every day in Great Yarmouth. But it's also crucial to river traffic - it has to be raised to give large boats access to and from the Broads' river system and the North Sea.
The bridge hasn't been able to open for weeks leaving bigger ships stranded either side.

Ray: The following is quoted from another news source.
Some call it a "slippery slope" and others call it an incremental extension, nonetheless, doctors appear to be breaking the law by killing, by euthanasia, children with disabilities, such as spina bifida.
Smith states that if assisted suicide is accepted, the same will occur in the United States. In the same way, if euthanasia is accepted, the same will occur in Canada, Australia, etc.In Canada we have a Charter of Rights and Freedoms that recognizes that we are all equal under the law. Therefore, legalizing euthanasia or assisted suicide in Canada will logically be extended, through the court, to all Canadians. You can't have a little bit of euthanasia.

The German Village Haus und Garten Tour always has a little of the unexpected.
The German Village Haus und Garten Tour always has a little of the unexpected.
Local officials said they have chosen 10 houses and two gardens that represent traditional and modern approaches in the historic neighborhood.
The 55th annual tour, presented by Frontgate, is slated for June 29.
A cottage on Beck Street has a landscaped "green roof" on top of an addition.
A stop on City Park Avenue has a pool.
A house at the corner of Beck and Third Street features classic, elaborate ornamental stone work.
This year's theme is "Urban. Living. History."
"When we developed the theme ... we tried to think about selecting properties that embodied the idea of variety, different ways of living in an urban environment, and ways people made use of the historical structures they find themselves living in this neighborhood," said Dan Kline, who is co-chairman of the tour this year with his wife, Marie Logothetis.
Kline called it "a great collection of properties."
"We had a sense of a bunch of properties we wanted to invite," Kline said. "We're thrilled with the houses we got."
Shiloh Todorov, executive director of the German Village Society, credited Kline and Logothetis for a fine selection of tour stops.
"I think every year -- and this year is no exception -- our tour chairs have found unique and memorable moments to feature on this year's Haus und Garten Tour," she said.
Todorov said the tour attracts both casual spectators and those who want ideas for a makeover.
"I think every year there's the perennial Haus und Garten visitor," she said.
"But there is always that group of folks who are starting a design in their own home and think of the tour as an inspiration."
Tickets for the tour and PreTour won't be on sale until May.
The PreTour, always held the evening before the tour, will offer 350 seats in private homes and businesses, plus 250 tickets for the Party on the Platz at the Meeting Haus.
For the second year in a row, tour officials will hold a cocktail party for $75 a ticket. Last year it was limited to young professionals, but this year it will be open to those 21 and older, Todorov said.

Hopefully everyone knows not to reply to an email sent by a "Nigerian prince." However, criminals are becoming more sophisticated in their tactics. We recently learned of a new email scam during a national conference we attended. The reality of this scam was driven home when one of our own clients was hacked.
One day as I was sitting at my desk, I received an email from a client with whom I had spoken recently. The email said, "Are you in office?" As I was on the phone at the time, I replied I would call as soon as I was done with a call.
The response came, "We are currently out of town, we are here in Mexico and our cell phone is not working here , kindly email available accounts balances as of today." (Hopefully, you noticed some of the grammar and punctuation mistakes as I did.)
What we had learned in our conference is that the new scam starts by hacking into an email by figuring out the password. Then the crook patiently finds out as much personal information as he can, including names, dates of birth, financial information, etc. Next, the crook will pose as the individual and try to make connections with the individual's contacts (in this case, me). With so much information about the individual sometimes access is gained to a bank, credit card, or other financial account.
Our policy is to never send personal information via email, which inherently is unsecure. For that same reason we won't accept trade requests via email.
When the email seemed to be fishy, I left a message for the client and waited until she contacted me. The client was indeed on vacation . . . , but not in Mexico. It is likely that the criminal knew she would be on vacation and waited for that moment to make a move.
Thankfully, none of the client's financial accounts were compromised. However, the episode cost the clients an enormous amount of time and worry.
What lessons can be learned from this?
1. Use strong passwords and change them frequently.
2. Protect your computer. Make sure you have antivirus protection and that you have updated it recently.
3. Encrypt your wireless router by using a WPA key, or password, that will impede hackers using network sniffers.
4. Don't give your passwords to others. (No one should ever ask.) If you aren't sure you can trust the emailer/caller, don't give them any personal information. Find the contact information through an independent source and contact the company that way.
5. Don't be fooled by emails. Many scammers will send you an email that looks legitimate, but when you click on the link it will download a virus to your computer. Don't click on any links if you haven't subscribed to a service from that provider.
6. Limit online purchases and remember that even brick and mortar retailers can have their customer information breached.
If you do make purchases online use credit cards, which typically have fraud protection. If you are compromised the credit card company will usually write-off all of those charges. Debit cards allow thieves to take your money.
In this digital age, cybersecurity is increasingly important. Take a step towards protecting your personal and financial information by first protecting your email.

Remember when I
This morning, I woke up and realized there was yet another clink in my plan for world domination as a business owner: I will never again be able to call my boss and tell her (lucky me, I have worked only for females) that I was sick and not coming in. Although that may not seem like a big deal, I am gonna miss the tiny feeling of satisfaction when she would say feel better and let me off without any attitude or hesitation.
The upside is that I don't have to ask anyone to take a sick day but the downside is I don't have to ask anyone to take a sick day.
Usually these practices of actually taking some time for myself would set me over the edge with guilt. Who has time to be sick?? But you see, I am writing this from vomit village. I have the stomach flu...haven't had it for years. In fact, I spent half the morning yesterday racking my brain how three beers could make this sick. When it was decided that I am not in need of a Betty Ford bed, I spent probably the most beautiful day we have had in six months and a Sunday, mind you-in my own bed wishing for death to come.
In fact, and this only happens almost never, I was still so ill, I decided when I woke up this morning that I don't care if the world blows up-I am doing the bare minimum for Little Blog Dress Media and going straight back to bed.
After a four hour nap, I am now coming into a more saner state of consciousness. I am actually kind of excited! I took a sick day!
Here is how you can take a sick day without guilt:
1. Set your vacation message. I actually googled How to leave an away message when you are sick to no avail. I made a similar one to when I was on vacation and told everyone I would be back on Tuesday.
2. Do what you need to do to not drop the ball. Take your to do list for the day and do whatever is on it to ensure that you will not wake up to chaos on Tuesday when you feel better.
3. Stick by your Sick! Do NOT answer email and do not answer the phone, you are sick...not a martyr! How annoying and unprofessional you will sound on the other end...so don't. You took the day, so now take it!
4. Do what you can to get better! You have a business to run!

I'm making a cake for our neighbor and while my cake is chilling I wanted to quickly share with you a really neat trick how to make pretty Lace Cookies : Royal Icing Lace Transfers. These little helpers are such great time savers!
- Using parchment or food grade acetate sheets, using royal icing, and a lace template make royal icing transfers. For more details on Royal Icing Transfers view my tutorial on Royal Icing Butterflies
- I used a dry on wet technique to apply royal icing transfers onto the cookies
- If using a dark outline, make sure it is dry before flooding the cookies, fill around the edges first and then continue flooding the rest of the cookie, making sure the outline is not disturbed so it has a nice uniformed look
- Make sure your royal icing transfers are darker in color than the flood color of your icing; darker color will bleed into the light colored transfer and will show through once dried.

The story of an enterprising Ukrainian philistine, Apollon Shmyhuev (Ivan Sadovskiy), whose peaceful bourgeois existence is upset by the 19171921 Civil War. He accidentally joins a Bolshevik military regiment [and what ensues is] an adventure road-movie with touches of the absurd. Featuring a camel as one of the main characters and mocking Bolshevik bureaucracy and fanaticism, as well as the White Armys kleptocratic pomposity in the Civil War, this adroit farce is one of the best examples of early Ukrainian comedy. The revolutionary agitation of the Red Army is depicted in an openly sarcastic way. When the Soviet government saw itself caricatured, the film was banned.

Eight Ways NOT to Respond to a Whistleblower Report (and Three Ways You Should)
HTFO | Aug 06, 2017 | Comments 0
What hotel or restaurant veteran hasn't heard the phrase "time to lean, time to clean"? We ensure our properties are spotless inside and out, maintain dress codes and scripted phrases for every interaction, and I would challenge any high-fashion magazine cover model to look more polished than a GM walking through their lobby or dining room to greet a VIP guest.
However, when it comes to responding to an internal whistleblower allegation, few GMs, chefs or managers have a script or SOP. Even the most experienced leaders generally cycle through the following emotions when confronted with an allegation of fraud, bribery or other misconduct:
- INDIGNANT. "No way this happened on my watch."
- DENIAL. "This is made up."
- DISMAY. "How could they do this to ME? We're like a family here!"
- CLARITY: "Well, we HAVE been seeing… (insert red flag here)."
- ACCEPTANCE: "Let's find out what happened and resolve this."
Keeping these emotions in mind, here are a few tips on what NOT to do when you learn an allegation was made (anonymously or not) about someone in your organization.
- Assume you are to blame or will be blamed. Even the most talented and vigilant leaders and managers have been defrauded or dealt with accusations of misconduct.
- Dismiss or ignore the report or reporter. If you (or whomever receives the report) can respond directly in writing or in person, thank them sincerely for their report, let them know you will look into it, and ask them if they can be available for follow-up questions if needed.
- Assume the reporter is fabricating the report. It doesn't matter if they just received an unfavorable performance review or were terminated. Unfortunately, some employees believe in keeping things "in their back pocket" rather than speaking out immediately. But, a less-than-gracious motivation for reporting does notmean the reporter is being untruthful.
- Confront the implicated person with the report. Plan how (or if) the matter will be investigated or cooperate with whomever is leading the investigation. Do your homework. If you charge over to the implicated employee with an accusation, do you expect them to confess on the spot? Avoid putting them on notice until the time is right, or you may risk losing key evidence that can be destroyed or manipulated before your investigation even gets started.
- Share with those who do not need to know. I know every hotel and restaurant is a family atmosphere. But sharing the details, or even the existence of an allegation, outside of a "need to know" circle can lead to possible damage to someone's reputation, hinder an objective investigation, and lead to a leak of a confidential matter to a larger audience, among other risks.
- Delegate an investigation to the reporter's immediate supervisor. Although this may be justified in some situations, generally it is best to keep it objective and independent. That supervisor may not want to admit something happened on their watch – or worse, they may be involved in the scheme.
- Go wobbly on disciplinary action.Everyone is remorseful when they have been caught. Be consistent. Consult with HR and Legal if you have the resources available. Consider reporting to law enforcement if warranted. Your entire team is watching your next move.
- Retaliate against the reporter. Just don't. And ensure no one else does.
- Be objective, fair and thorough in your investigation of both the "accused" and the "accuser."
- Continue to focus on your business. Ensure whomever investigates does so with minimal disruption to your operation and do not tolerate gossip.
Learn from the experience. How did the fraud or misconduct occur and how can you prevent it from happening again?

Doomtree has announced an upcoming book, Doomtree: Every Single Day, set to be released this year.
The book features "over ten years and 500 pages of behind the scenes photos, artwork, artifacts, and inside jokes from the hardest working collective in Hip Hop," according to a press release. "Only 1,500 total copies ever made. There will be no re-pressings. Once they're gone, they're gone."
The pre-order includes the hard cover book autographed by all Doomtree members and a limited edition 22-track project, Best Of False Hopes.
In 2011, Dessa spoke to HipHopDX about the group's dynamics.
"It's like trying to build a label through a chain letter, it's just slow to spread," she said at the time. "Even if everybody does their parts and tell their friends, there's this kind of exponential growth curve which stays flat for a long time before it starts pulling up and becoming something closer to vertical lines. It's been five, six, seven, eight years tryin' to make it and its felt like there was kind of a critical mass. I dont want to overstate our current position. But it was a big deal to get most of us to quit our day jobs to just focus on music. That's obviously an easy benchmark. That probably is the one that means the most to most of us – being able to spend your life the way you want to spend it."
More information on the release is available at Doomtree's website.

It was mid-afternoon before it all began. Candace was just sitting at her computer, browsing the past comments on her blog when the phone rang.
She got up and scrambled over a pile of worn, but much-loved, books to retrieve it. "Hello?" Candace said into the phone. She received a very peculiar reply: a series of high-pitched beeps followed by a long train of rapidly recited words that were not English, or any other language that Candace recognized. "Hello? Anyone there?" she continued, only to hear another round of the assorted beeps and unfamiliar words.
"Candy, who was that?" Candace's mother asked her after she hung up.
"Y'know, I was just asking myself the same question!" Candace said, scratching her head, puzzled. "Maybe someone is using a cell phone and isn't getting good reception. Aw, well."
Candace had barely sat back down in front of her computer when the phone rang again.
"Not again! This is so annoying!" Candace exaggerated, before storming back over to the pile of books and picking up the phone once again. "I don't care who you are, or what you want, but will you please, please, please stop calling me?!"
This time she got a response. "Subject 249, there is an error."
For a few seconds, Candace was so confused and bewildered that she didn't speak. Then she asked emphatically, "What??!!"
"I repeat," the voice on the other end replied, "Subject 249, there is an error. Did you not hear me the first time, Subject 249?"
"Dude! You have the wrong phone number!" Candace informed the mysterious caller. She received a peculiar reply of beeps in varying pitches and lengths.
"S....S....ubject 2....4....9......there is an error!" The voice repeated, now sounding urgent.
Candace was so irritated that she unplugged the phone and went back to the computer. She looked at the screen, and for a second the word 'ERROR' flashed up on it in big, bold writing; Candace frowned to herself.
"Mommmm!" Candace yelled to her mom after the word 'ERROR' kept flashing, "I think someone is hacking my computer! Something is wrong!"
Suddenly, a man's face appeared on her screen, and his expression was serious as he said, "Subject 249, we will come to your home in exactly 2.7 minutes, because if we don't, you will perish."
Stunned into momentary silence, Candace stammered after a few seconds, "W-what?? Who's a s-subject? Why would I d-die?" For some reason, the man's face looked mildly familiar to Candace.
"This can't be real!" Candace couldn't shake the familiar face out of her mind. She reached for the power button, and then sat there in silence in front of the blank screen.
Exactly 2.7 minutes later, there came a loud banging on the door, almost like the door would be broken down if they didn't answer quickly.
Candace froze, not daring to breathe. She listened in petrified terror as her mother walked to the door, paused to look through the door peephole, and then opened the door. "May I help you, sirs?" she greeted politely.
"We're here for Subject 249! Please stand aside."
Candace heard a quick scuffle, and she cringed, knowing that her mother had probably been hurt. Still taking silent breaths, Candace plucked up the courage to go closer.
"Subject 249, there's no use hiding. We can see you." Slowly creeping back into her bedroom, Candace braced herself as she heard the multiple heavy footsteps make their way closer and closer. Candace dared a glance behind her, but just as she did, she felt an iron grip on her shoulder. She turned to the window and made a dare; she pulled herself away from his grip and jumped out the window.
"Ahh!" Candace yelped, her voice drowned out from the headwind she was creating. "Ugggfuhhgah!!!" she spluttered as she landed painfully on her side. She lay on the ground for seconds, and then she realised those seconds could be the difference between getting to safety and being killed by a complete stranger. "Ow! Not smart," she mumbled to herself.
Then something strange happened: she felt the same grip on her shoulder, but this time, instead of gripping her tightly, the hand was helping her up. Candace turned her head so she could see her saviour; her green eyes fell upon a boy – around her age – who had messy copper-coloured hair and lanky legs.
"Subject 249," he whispered sharply, "my name is Eric, and my father has forced me to rescue you. He was the man who contacted you via the computer."
"W-what?!?" Candace spluttered, "first him, now you? What's going on?" She tried to make a run for it, but Eric was a lot stronger than she suspected.
"Please don't struggle, Subject 249," Eric said, grabbing Candace by the arm. "We need to do this as smoothly as possible."
"Why are you calling me that? I'm Candace!"
"I'm calling you Subject 249 because that's what you are." Eric spat the words, 'now follow me, and you can meet the rest of your kind.'
"What do you mean, the rest of my kind? Am I just an experiment to you?"
But the only response she received was silence.
Feeling rather incensed, Candace demanded, her voice sounding more confident than she was, "Excuse me, Eric, but you can't expect me to obey some random strangers that call my home only to transmit random beeps and words, hack into my computer, and then barge into my house and drag me off! Will you please explain what's going on?!"
Eric bit his lip, worry evident in his eyes. "Subject 249, that is classified info--" He was cut off suddenly by a peculiar noise coming from behind.
In that instant, Candace released his grip from her arm and ran into the woods. He might call her Subject whatever, but Candace knows she is the one and only Candace.
"Subject 249....HELP! Please! Sub--I, I mean...C-Candace! Help me, please!" She kept running though, and his voice eventually faded into the distance. Even though, Candace knew she was doing herself a favour, she couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt for leaving Eric behind.
Pulling out her bubblegum-pink cell phone, she texted her mother asking if she was ok.
"I can't call the police," the text message from her mother read, "Go without me, I'll be fine. Trust Eric. I should have told you long ago, but--"Candy stared at the screen in shock, but before she could continue, the phone was knocked out of her hands and broken by a hurtling body named Eric who was rushing towards her and also being chased by three other large, scary looking men.

Using FenceFins is pretty straightforward. But we've compiled some FAQs we've received about posts, soil and other structures and we hope these answer any questions you have. We want to help you get it right every time so if you have a question that's not here please use our contact form to get in touch and we'll do our best to answer it (and add it to our FAQs).
FAQs – on posts and FenceFins
Q. What is the right size of posts for my fence?
A. Probably the most important of the FAQs to consider. It depends on the size of the fence:
- For a fence more than 6ft high or with posts more than 6ft apart use 4" x 4" posts.
- 3"x 3" posts are fine for fence 'panel' sizes less than 6ft x 6ft. However 4″x 4″ posts will make a sturdier fence that will last longer.
- For very exposed/windy sites, or 'weak' soil, (e.g. freshly disturbed, often wet or with high loam content) then we suggest 4"x 4" posts too.
- Remember you need posts 2ft (60cm) longer than the height of your fence because this length goes below ground.
Q. Can I use FenceFins on round posts?
A. Yes, FenceFins are available for 3" (75mm) round posts. Many people think round posts look much nicer than square posts for hurdle fences and screening made from willow, reed or similar. Please see our stockists pages for details.
Q. Can I use FenceFins on 3"x 4" posts?
A. Yes, if you overlap the FenceFins fully when you nail them on. To do this you will need to bend the FenceFins so they fit to the post. For example:
- For panel size less than 6' x 6' and using 3"x 3" FenceFins. Rebend the FenceFins to open them out so their 'aperture' is 4". Then overlap them and nail to the 3" 'faces' of the post. Fix your panels to the 4" faces.
- If using 4"x 4" FenceFins, start by rebending them, closing down the aperture to 3". Overlap them and nail them to the 4" 'faces' of the post. Fix your panels to the 3" faces.
Q. Can FenceFins be used with half round/half moon posts?
A. No, because they would only fit tightly on one side. This compromises the strength of the fitting.
Q. Can I use FenceFins on plastic/PVC posts?
A. Yes, they are ideal. Because plastic fence posts and FenceFins have a really long life and are so easy to maintain they work very well together. To fix them on we recommend 8 x 1" pan-head plated self-tapping Pozidrive screws
FAQs on installation
Q. What sort of nails do I need?
A. We recommend 3.75 x 30mm galvanised square twist nails. These are widely available from DIY stores, builders merchants and ironmongers.
Q. Can I use screws to fix the FenceFins to the post?
A. Yes, we recommend 8 x 1" pan-head plated self-tapping Pozidrive screws.
Q. How deep should the hole be?
A. At least 2ft (60cm) of post should go in the ground. The top edge of the FenceFins sits just below ground level so a hole depth of just over 2ft is needed. In our installation video here Andrew digs a little deeper and puts some rubble under the post. This helps with drainage and therefore prolongs the post's life.
A quick tip – if you have a length of post about 2ft long, fix one set of FenceFins loosely to it (so you can remove them later). Use as a quick gauge for the depth and size of the hole (our thanks to Tyler, in San Francisco for this tip!).
FAQs on soil conditions
Q. How long will FenceFins last in damp ground?
A. FenceFins are made from galvanized steel so should last for several decades without rusting, even in damp ground. If the posts rot, the FenceFins can be removed and re-used.
Q. Are FenceFins suitable for boggy or very wet soil?
A. Anchoring any structure in very wet ground is challenging. Like other post anchors, FenceFins are subject to movement as the ground moves. However we would expect them to perform much better than spikes in such conditions and probably better than concrete, unless really large amounts of concrete are used. Even if the ground does move, with FenceFins it is easier to reset the post than if concrete is used.
Q. My soil is very rocky, will FenceFins work in that?
A. Yes, FenceFins should be very strong in this soil. If the gravel/rocks are more than around 1/2 inch (1 cm) in size then some ordinary soil or sand in your backfill will ensure the strongest results.
Q. How well do FenceFins cope with frost heave?
A. The movement of the soil caused by freeze/thaw can affect any fence anchor system, but FenceFins have a couple of advantages.
Firstly soil can pass up through the A-shape of the fin which minimises the 'heave' impact (see diagram to see how frost lenses push up a concrete fixing, or read more here).
Secondly, if displacement occurs a post with FenceFins you can reposition the post more easily once the ground thaws. Just loosen the post a little, perhaps dig out a little soil, adjust and re-compact the soil. Concrete or spikes, however, need much more digging out so are more difficult to maintain.
The risk of frost heave is reduced if there is good drainage around the post too.
FAQs on using FenceFins with other structures
Q. Can I use FenceFins to anchor my pergola/arbour?
A. This really is one of our most common FAQs, and the answer is that we generally don't recommend it for a variety of reasons:
- Pergola with a roof: FenceFins are designed to resist wind forces on a fence or similar vertical plane surface (e.g. foliage on a trellis). They might not anchor enough against wind 'lifting' under a roof.
- Pergola without a roof: here you could use FenceFins but it will depend on the nature and weight of the structure. Please get in touch if you'd like more advice. Remember also if you are buying a pergola ready-assembled, or in kit form, the posts may not be long enough for 2ft (60cm) to go below ground.
Q. Can I use FenceFins to secure my sail shade?
A. No, we would not advise this. This is because FenceFins withstand lateral wind force on a fence (or similar) but not the force of the wind lifting upwards. With a sail shade much of the force of the wind is trying to lift the structure up and so pulling the post up out of the ground. We also advise against using metal spikes for the same reason, unless you angle them appropriately to resist both lateral and upward pull.

Country of origin
Juye Goodfarmer
Garlic originally comes from Siberia and Western Asia and was used to promote health for centuries. Nowadays, it is a popular seasoning ingredient, although it continues to be used for medicinal purposes. In Russia, garlic is known as the 'poor man's penicillin'. China is by far the largest producer of garlic in the world. Centuries of experience with the product and optimised cultivation methods has enabled China to position itself as a 'garlic specialist'.
Total Produce B.V. works together with the reputable grower Goodfarmer and supplies its buyers with garlic under a label of the same name.
The label has become popular through the years because it guarantees consistently good quality. (Dried) garlic has a long shelf life, provided it is stored properly with the right amount of atmospheric humidity, temperature and regulated air circulation.
Total Produce B.V. has acquired a strong position in terms of garlic because it was one of the first parties to do business in China. Through the years, a product has been developed in collaboration with the supplier that meets the requirements and needs of European buyers.

The new 2011 Business Superbrand list, confirms that Siemens is the UK's number-one Industrial Engineering brand for the second year in a row. The announcement acknowledges Siemens, including its Industry Automation & Drive Technologies division, as one of the UK's leading business-to-business (B2B) brands. The ranking follows a robust research process administered independently by The Centre for Brand Analysis, which analysed the views of an Expert Council and 2000 UK business professionals.
Of the thousands of brands initially considered, only the top 500 are deemed to be Business Superbrands. Siemens was placed 29th overall, improving one place from last year, in the annual listing, which is now in its ninth year.
Stephen Cheliotis, Chairman of the Expert Council and CEO of The Centre for Brand Analysis, comments: "Congratulations to Siemens on again confirming its Business Superbrands status. This shows the strength and potency of the Siemens brand in the UK.
"As we enter another difficult year, the resilience of a business can be boosted by its reputation, helping to stimulate demand and loyalty versus weaker-branded rivals. Siemens and its employees can be extremely proud to be recognised amongst the UK's leading B2B brands. The achievement reflects the views of experts and professionals who deemed the brand to represent quality, reliability and distinction."
Rolls-Royce Group was the number-one brand overall, up from second last year, whil BlackBerry also moves up one position to take second place. Completing the top three is software giant Microsoft, which fell from the number-one spot. Eight of the top ten remain the same as in 2010, indicating the buoyancy provided by a strong brand.
Andreas J Goss, Chief Executive of Siemens in the UK, is very pleased with the company's success, stating: "To be recognised nationally as a Business Superbrand is a powerful testimony to the pioneering strength of our company and the dedication of our 16,000 employees throughout the UK."

Do you ever wonder why everyone has some kind of illness? Why there are so many sick people in the world, and a pill for everything? Why humans in general don't seem very happy anymore? There is too much obesity, depression, tiredness, and death.
We have the internet, the space shuttle, nuclear weapons, and phones that tell us where we are and connect us with anyone on the planet..............but our health is getting worse.
What is going on? Is it really that our genetics have turned against us? That we are all PROGRAMMED for illness? GENETIC MUTANY?
The truth is most Diagnosis really don't exist. Most medical conditions are simply labels for different ways people feel, symptoms they have.
But that's the way the medical system makes money. Give you a label, code it, bill for it, and prescribe you a synthetic and expensive medication to artificially remove the symptoms.......for a while.
In reality these conditions really don't exist! Think about that for a second.......
Heart disease is just a label for a combination of nutrient deficiencies, toxicities, and hormonal imbalances that CREATE sick arteries that become inflamed, degenerate, and clog.
Strokes are similar.
Cancer is the result of progressive and repeated attacks on our DNA by mutagenic toxins and chemicals, in combination with similar nutrient and hormone deficiencies that weaken our natural ability to control the cancerous cells.
Alzheimer's disease is inflammation in the brain from..........you guessed it toxic inflammatory reactions in combination with hormone and nutrient deficiencies.
Arthritis and bowel problems are inflammatory in joints and the GI system.
And on, and on.......
So while we label everyone and celebrate the 'discovery' of new labels and new drugs that keep people alive for a while, the human race is actually getting sicker.
New Medicine simply uncovers these biochemical imbalances and corrects them.
Toxins are removed.
Nutritional deficiencies are replaced.
Hormonal imbalances are corrected.
The body is allowed to heal. Symptoms disappear. Illness never happens. The labels don't exist.
Discover how to be naturally today. Don't wait for another label, another medication, another specialist.
Be Health,
Dr Edward
