Baseball notebook
REDS -- Right-hander Edinson Volquez is scheduled to undergo elbow surgery Monday. It was not immediately clear if he will have a ligament-replacement procedure, known as Tommy John surgery.
On the disabled list since June 2, Volquez, who made just nine starts this season, could throw only 20 pitches of a simulated game scheduled for 80 on Friday before complaining of tightness in a muscle.
Volquez is 4-2 in his second season with the Reds after being acquired from Texas for outfielder Josh Hamilton before the 2008 season. Volquez was Cincinnati's only All-Star last year, which he finished with a 17-6 record.
TWINS -- Minnesota made room for new shortstop Orlando Cabrera by optioning infielder Brian Buscher to Class AAA Rochester.
The Twins acquired Cabrera from Oakland on Friday to shore up their middle infield and add a better hitter in the No. 2 spot in the batting order. They gave up minor league shortstop Tyler Ladendorf in the deal, so Minnesota had to make a roster move to clear the way. Buscher hit .227 with two home runs and 11 RBIs in 53 games for the Twins as a backup third baseman and first baseman. Cabrera was expected to be in the lineup on Saturday night against the Los Angeles Angels.
ROYALS -- Right fielder Mark Teahen left Saturday's game against Tampa Bay with muscle tightness in his lower back. The Royals said the move was precautionary and that Teahen is day to day.
RANGERS -- Right-hander Kevin Millwood's scheduled start today has been pushed back because of a strained gluteus muscle. Scott Feldman will take Millwood's turn against the Seattle Mariners on three days' rest.
Feldman lasted only 2 1-3 innings in his outing Wednesday against the Detroit Tigers, so Rangers manager Ron Washington elected to bring the right-hander back after an abbreviated break.
Millwood has not pitched since he left his last start July 26 against Kansas City after two innings because of the injury.
Also, second baseman Ian Kinsler (strained left hamstring) is out of the starting lineup for a fourth straight game.
ROCKIES -- Right-hander Juan Rincon was placed on the 15-day disabled list because of stiffness in his pitching elbow, making room on the roster for recent acquisition Joe Beimel.
Beimel, a left-hander, was acquired by the Reds in a trade with Washington before the non-waiver deadline Friday.
Rincon was put on the DL retroactive to Friday. He went 2-2 with a 6.91 ERA in 16 relief appearances after being called up by the Rockies from Class AAA Colorado Springs on June 20. The seven-year veteran opened the season with Detroit and was 1-0 with a 5.23 ERA in seven relief appearances before being designated for assignment on May 13.
MARINERS -- Newly acquired Luke French was activated and the left-hander will start the l on Wednesday night at Kansas City.
The Mariners obtained French and minor league pitcher Mauricio Robles from the Detroit Tigers on Friday for lefty Jarrod Washburn, one of the top starters on the market before the non-waiver trade deadline.
INDIANS -- Right-hander Justin Masterson was added to the roster one day after he was acquired from the Boston Red Sox for catcher Victor Martinez.
Masterson will initially work out of the bullpen, although the team plans to convert him into a starter this year. The Beavercreek, Ohio, native went 3-3 with a 4.50 in 31 appearances for the Red Sox, and has not allowed an earned run in his last four.
Masterson was dealt to Cleveland on Friday, along with Class A pitchers Nick Hagadone and Bryan Price, for the popular Martinez.
"Initially it was bittersweet," Masterson said of the deal that took him from the Red Sox, in playoff contention and 18 games over .500 to the rebuilding Indians, 17 under the break-even point.
"That's because I've been part of a great thing going on in Boston," Masterson said, "but I realize this a good opportunity to help the Cleveland Indians rebuild."
Masterson said he's more comfortable in a starting role since he's pitched out of a regular rotation most of his career, but he doesn't dislike relief work.
Manager Eric Wedge said the right-hander could get the call in his first day on the job should starter Jeremy Sowers run into trouble against the Detroit Tigers on Saturday night.
"We'll work off what Jeremy does and hopefully any call will be late in the game," Wedge said. "I think it would take two or three outings from the bullpen to build up his arm strength for a spot in the rotation."
GIANTS -- Three days after acquiring Freddy Sanchez from the Pittsburgh Pirates, the San Francisco Giants added him to their roster.
Sanchez took infield and was able to pinch hit Saturday night. He could make his first start at second base today.
The Giants also recalled Waldis Joaquin from Class AA Connecticut.
To make room for Sanchez and Joaquin, the team optioned pitcher Ryan Sadowski and infielder Jesus Guzman.

Film Directing: Rehearsal Techniques
In this post, I'm going to give you some great rehearsal techniques, to use while you're directing your actors. Rehearsal is a very important part of film directing. in fact, this is where most of the film directing is happening. Putting efforts on the rehearsal stage will save you a lot of time and money on shooting. Rehearsal is a good chance to see how the crew members react to each other and to create your own way of communication with them. It is also a good way to learn each actor's method of acting.
When to start rehearsal?
Before we talk about any rehearsal techniques, Remember! it will take time for the actors to have full control on their lines and to get to know each other, so You want to start it as soon as you can. Once you got most of your crew ready. Don't just run into rehearsal. Before you start the rehearsal stage, you have to make sure you understood the script completely.
Preparing for rehearsal
Rehearsal is not only about rehearsing but also about preparing. This is a stage where everybody can expose them. Everyone can share experiences that relate to the film. Rehearsal is all about discipline, but you need to make sure the atmosphere will be also the kind that will promote creativity and exploration of the characters and their situations. This will be a great opportunity to check out the actor;s ideas. Encourage your actors to be creative and to try different ideas. This creative atmosphere can only be created if you'll make them fill safe.
Working with the actors – Rehearsal techniques
The first step of rehearsal is learning the lines and making sure the actors are feeling comfortable with them.
After you established that, your next step will be to make sure the actors understand their characters "wants" in every scene.
Now you'll need to play the full scene and then start to break it into beats. After all the beats are clear, play the scene again and see how it looks.
Quick Tip
When you give direction to your actors, talk to their characters and ask them questions about it. This will help your actor to stay in character.
Correcting the actors
Be honest- If something the actor think or does, doesn't seem right to you, let him know. Don't be afraid to criticise. There is nothing worse for an actor, then to be sure he is on the right track and on the shooting day, to realise that he isn't.
Fixing an actor's work isn't that hard. Simply make sure he understand the situation and his character's need and objective. Also, make sure your directions are clear. Don't say stuff like "Do it again, only much more angry/sad/crazy". When directing actors you should think about the actions that will describe what the character fills at the moment. Read the post on directing actors to fully understand the workflow with an actor.
Shooting the rehearsal
Doing rehearsals is all about coming prepared to the shootings.That's why Some directors even like to shoot rehearsal (documentary style) in the locations of the set. Shooting the rehearsal is a great rehearsal technique because it will also help you think about the right shots for each scene. When you will watch the footage you shot at the rehearsal, new ideas will come up.
Improvisation in rehearsal
Improvisation is one of the best rehearsal techniques. Many directors like to be open for improvisations. I've talked about improvising in the post Tips for directing actors. Personally I believe that there needs to be a balanced between what is improvised and what is not. Improvisation simply gives you more options to work with. In the movie Waterfront, the part where Brando is pushing his brother's gun away was an improvised gesture. That is a great gesture since it is followed by a great monologue from Brando. There is no doubt as to how this small gesture helped the scene to become one of the most classic scenes in cinema.

One word to describe the situation at Ampang Nine Emperor Gods' temple grounds - PEOPLE! The crowd was unbelievable as night falls, probably people taking advantage of the weekend night. The temple was jam-packed with people and we ended up on the opera house.
|The star and the light bulb. Both have seen some years in them, one yellowed and dim, the other wrinkled and worn out.
|Waiting for my turn - an opera actor (or is it an actress) waiting for the cue to come on stage.
|What's up there?? - a little girl distracted by a phone photographer whilst watching the Amoy opera at Ampang Nine Emperor Gods Festival.
There were loads of photographers there as well as people watching the opera, both young and old. Even though I could only grasp a bit of what is going on, and wasn't impressed with the show nor the story-line, the audience looked enraptured by the performers.

For traders and logistics providers alike there are two key rules of international trade: the first being to make sure you get paid, the second being never to forget the first rule. Everything else is plain sailing.
But when debt, insolvency and contract breach rear their head, a third fallback rule comes into play, the oft-quoted but much underestimated saying that possession is nine tenths of the law. In other words, freezing and squeezing assets tends to produce the cash.
The contractual lien (often accompanied by right of sale) – as seen in UKWA, RHA and BIFA terms, as well as sea carriers' bills of lading – is a weapon of at least moderate destruction, entitling the indebted warehouser or carrier to detain goods when money is owed. Importantly, the exercise of the right gives "secured" creditor status under insolvency legislation. Last year the English courts recognised in the La Senza decision that the carrier's right to hold and sell goods of an insolvent debtor clothing chain trumped the administrator's right to demand release of the goods.
Carriers' contractual liens over sub freight and hires found in vessel charterparties are an equally effective mean of diverting the flow of money in the carriage chain.
In the sale chain there is also protection. The unpaid seller in the UK under the Sale of Goods Act enjoys special rights to stop goods being delivered to an insolvent buyer by either taking possession or by giving notice to the carrier who holds the goods- provided that under the carrier's terms (e.g. bill of lading) that such a right has not been waived: so check the small print.
Correspondingly, a seller should remember that a bill of lading consignee, by simply being named in the bill, has no right to demand delivery of the goods; he first needs to have possession of the original bill. Therefore instructions to discharge port agents to withhold release can be an effective means to provoke payment. For the same reason a negotiating bank may retain original bills - the so-called keys to the warehouse – until the buyer has first repaid their letter of credit facility.
Detention or arrest of vessels under Admiralty jurisdiction tends to concern the machinery of debt recovery used by marine suppliers, port authorities, mortgagee banks or parties with claims for damaged goods, and can be arranged quite swiftly. The prospect of a vessel's schedule being interrupted will often exert payment by its owners, or at least a payment bond, in very short time.
Therefore, while "show me the money" will always be the modern mantra of supply chain credit protection, some knowledge of the legal swords and shields available to protect the balance sheet can prove highly effective in these difficult times.

Kia Sportage Headlight Bulbs, Aftermarket Fog Light Bulbs
Kia Sportage Headlight Bulb Information
Kia Sportage Headlight Bulb choices are plenty. Once you decide you're ready to install some aftermarket light bulbs, there are many options to consider in choosing the perfect replacement headlight bulb for your Sportage. Headlight Bulb replacements are available in a variety of brands, wattages, and colors, with each set of headlight bulbs being ideal for a particular purpose.
Our line of Kia Sportage headlight bulb carry thru 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 or 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13 models.
95-13 Kia Sportage Headlight Bulb
Kia Sportage Headlight Bulb / Sportage Fog Light Bulb Frequently Asked Questions
Is the price listed for a single Sportage bulb or is it for the pair?All the PIAA and Nokya bulbs we sell for your Sportage are sold by the pair. By paying the listed price, you get both bulbs. We do not have the bulbs packaged for individual sale.
How long will these PIAA / Nokya bulbs last in my Kia Sportage?Generally speaking, if the bulbs are installed properly without leaving any dirt or oil on the surface, you could expect them to last 1-2 years. If you have any blowouts within the first couple of months, please let us know and we will be happy to replace them for you.
Do you carry BLUE headlight or fog light bulbs for my Kia Sportage?There are only a few companies that produce truly BLUE light bulbs (not super white with a blue tint, but actually royal blue). We do not carry these types of bulbs as the coating is usually very dark resulting in a very dim beam, making them a safety hazard.
Which bulbs are better: Nokya, Sylvania, Luminics, etc. ?Considering the price, Nokya bulbs are by far the best bargain we have available for your Sportage fog lights or headlights. Sylvania are very pale color-wise (even worse than PIAA), Luminics have an overall higher defect ratio, and most other brands do not stack up to Nokya quality (let alone PIAA).
Will these bulbs burn the wire harnesses on my Kia Sportage?Your Sportage's stock wire harness is not designed to withstand continuous extended usage. For that reason, we offer Nokya Replacement Harnesses to ensure long term proper lighting on your Sportage. They are also a far cheaper alternative to buying Sportage factory harnesses which lack the heat capacity of the Nokya Sportage harnesses.
Are these bulbs brighter than my Kia Sportage's stock Headlight / Foglight bulbs?No. Contrary to popular belief, aftermarket bulbs add color to your high beams / low beams / fog lights by adding a tint to the glass. This tint results in a nicer beam, but blocks out a small amount of light, resulting in a slightly dimmer beam than your stock clear Sportage bulb would have. The color comes at the price of a LITTLE bit of brightness, but most people do not notice the difference.
Why Should I Buy Aftermarket Bulbs for My Kia Sportage's Headlights / Fog lights?First off, the stock bulbs on your Sportage are going to wear out eventually. Replacing your bulbs with aftermarket headlight bulbs (or fog light bulbs) and keeping your OEM headlight bulbs for spares can be a good way to make sure you are always driving safe and minimize your chances of getting a time wasting fix-it ticket. Also, changing your headlight bulbs can be an inexpensive, quick, and easy way to give your Sportage a nice personalized touch that unlike many upgrades, you can actually SEE while driving.

When player wants to join a multiplayer game the multiplayerlist shows the joinable games, and if these template(s) are configured than the first few rows in multiplayer game list will be these templates.
hopes, advantage:
- people will have a feeling that there is always a game to play in multiplayer (even if it is not "open" actually, but it "seems open" as it were a joinable already created game)
- people will have an aid to easily create a game - click on the desired template and modify as u need and go.
- i designed it as it will be a good basis for "custom game templates" - when the player can make and save a game configuration and on game create just pull the settings from templates.
How is it working as a modder:
1. configure your game
2. and instead of Launch, you see a new "Template" button* under the Launch button, you press that, and send the upcoming email to yourself.
3. in email you see the game configuration (FOG/nr. of Towns/enable upgrades) in json form.
4. copy that json to the end of the others/maps.json in this format:
Code: Select all
"groups": [
<copy here the first game template json>
<copy here the secondgame template json and so on, separate them with commas>
(*Template button requires modders permission, ask the dev for one.)

Holiday shopping is expected to rise 4% this year, with consumers spending an average of just over $1,000 on holiday shopping, according to the National Retail Federation.
"Pop-up" shops have long been part of the holiday retail landscape as landlords look to fill of vacant retail space in downtown areas and suburban malls. Pop-ups are expected to increase this year as online retailers like Amazon and Facebook test out bricks-and-mortar locations, and celebrities like Kanye West and Kylie Jenner jump on the pop-up bandwagon.
The Better Business Bureau receives hundreds of complaints a year about temporary retail locations, reporting everything from poor quality merchandise to difficulty obtaining refunds after temporary stores have closed their doors. Pop-up shops can be fun but keep the following BBB tips in mind if you choose to buy from one of them.
- Research store headquarters. If you are interested in trying a new or unfamiliar online merchant, ask the company for its physical location (address and phone number) so you can check its BBB Business Profile at org.
- Ask how long a store will operate.If you are buying from a seasonal store, ask whether it will be open after the holiday and whether it will accept returns when the season is over. If not, consider buying elsewhere or taking more time to be sure the item is exactly what you want before making the purchase.
- Review purchase policies.Determine the company's refund and return policies before you buy. If pop-up shops cannot offer concrete commitments on how they will handle any potential problems you may have with their products or services, reconsider doing business with them.
- Shop around.Pop-ups often focus on unique or high-quality gifts that you may not find elsewhere, but some are simply mini versions of discount retailers, offering holiday-themed goods that may be available for less at a traditional retailer.
- Pay attention to quality.Occasionally, pop-ups sell counterfeit products, so be cautious when purchasing designer goods or that latest "must have" gifts. Prices that are dramatically lower than regular retail stores may be a red flag that the items are either stolen or counterfeit.
- Know the terms of any product or service guarantees.If you are purchasing anything that comes with a manufacturer's warranty, ask how you will be able to get the product serviced if needed.
- Guard your personal information.For small items, you might be better off paying in cash, so you don't have to share any personal information. Just be sure you understand that you probably won't have any recourse if something is not right. For larger items, paying with a credit card can provide additional protections if there are problems and the retailer disappears. Make sure you hang on to the receipt to match it against your credit card statement.
- Consider whether the gift is for a hard-to-please recipient. If you are planning a gift for someone who might need or want to return it, consider buying from a retailer with a long-standing business, strong reputation, and well-established return policies, instead of a pop-up shop. Whenever possible, ask for a gift receipt that would make a return or exchange easier, if necessary.

2017 Young Triennale
Studio visits: Gdańsk - Toruń - Łódź - Warszawa, 24-30th Oct 2016
Open call: till 30th Nov 2016
The 8th edition of Young Triennale organised by The Polish Sculpture Center in Orońsko takes place in Autumn 2017. Since its early beginning it focused on a presentation of the most interesting tendencies in visual arts represented by the youngest generation. According to its objectives, the precursory initiative, was supposed to distinguish itself amongst other events of this kind by its open direction. Throughout the recent years there were various methods of selection of participants, yet to a big extent the selected artists were supposed to come out as the most interesting ones to present their work, by the experienced curators and art critics. We would like to relate to a survey show method elaborated from the beginning, but instead of presenting a classical exhibition we propose creating a space for discursive exchange.
In order to make an appointment please enroll to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Please let us know which date is preferred by you:
24-25.10 Gdańsk
26.10 Toruń
27-28.10 Łódź
29-30.10 Warszawa
The next series of studio visits to Szczecin, Poznań, Wrocław, Katowice, Karków will be announced later on.
Apart from the series of meetings at chosen locations we also announce an OPEN CALL aiming to reach out a large number of artists interested in taking part in 2017 Young Triennale.
We accept applications including portfolios (PDF, not larger than 10 MB) together with bio and a short description of your interest and artistic statement (text up to 1500 characters) till 30th Nov 2016 at firstname.lastname@example.com. We welcome all the individual artists as well as collectives. There is no classical "under 35" age restriction.
Young Triennale 2017

Whilst playing about with MAME I came across my old HD44780 LCD and thought it would be an awesome idea to have it display the name of the current MAME game as well as some system statistics.
The system statistic were an easy to reach goal but a MAME plugin was nowhere to be found. In the end I wrote one myself that gets the name of the current game from the MAME window title.
mameName (for LCD Smartie) v1.2
Displays the name of the current running game ROM in MAME on any LCD Smartie compatible screen.
- Now auto detects 32/64 bit
- Compatible with MAMEUIFX32/64 & ARCADE32/64
- LCD Smartie (>= 5.3 beta 3)
- MAME 32 or 64 bit (for Windows) (Or MAMEUIFX/ARCADE)
Unzip the download file below into the "plugins" directory of LCD Smartie and then…
$dll(mameName,1,[hideLongName (0/1)],0)
- The first parameter is always 1, the last is always 0.
- "hideLongName" will show the full name when set to anything other than 1 and attempt to show the game name only when set to 1. (1 is the recommended setting.)
Say we are playing the rom titled "Galaxian (Namco set 1) [galaxian]".
Here's how it would look with different settings:
LCD: "Galaxian (Namco set 1) [galaxian]"
LCD: "Galaxian"
Now also compatible with MAMEUIFX
Something you're interested in for your own Mame LCD Smartie project?

Vistra report highlights anti-globalisation's threats to trusts, corp services sector
The aftershocks of a series of major world events, including Brexit and the US election result, are threatening the concept of globalisation, which in turn is unsettling the cross-border trusts and corporate services sector, a new report from Vistra, the Hong Kong-based corporate services provider, has found.
The report, Vistra 2020: The Uncertainty Principal, highlights the collective impact of major events involving global geopolitics, technology and regulation.
The report is the latest in a series of annual reports Vistra began producing seven years ago. This year's edition is based on information provided by respondents from a wide range of industry sectors, who were asked to share their experiences and views on the current state of the trusts and corporate services industry and its future, Vistra said, in a statement unveiling the report.
The Vistra 2020 report is compiled from almost 600 interviews, close to double the number who participated in Vistra's previous annual reports, and also represented a broader geographical span.
Jonathon Clifton, group managing director of Vistra's company formation division of Vistra (pictured above), said the Vistra 2020 report found that "significant shifts surrounding the industry have been witnessed globally, causing a feeling of consistency to give way to uncertainty".
"Globalisation has felt the effects of this considerably, and is slightly under threat, according to [more than] 70% of respondents," he added.
"Large-scale globalisation dates back to the late 19th century, and has underpinned economic growth across the globe since this time.
"For globalisation to now be under threat inevitably unsettles the trust and corporate services industry – an industry that hinges on cross-border transactions and international supply chains, as well as free trade and investment."
According to the Vistra report, the anti-globalisation sentiment has been gradually strengthening, as events have occurred in succession: the result of last year's UK referendum in favour of leaving the European Union was an important factor; then came the US election, with Donald Trump's signature vow to build a wall to keep out immigrants from Mexico and Central and South America; elswhere in Europe, meanwhile, the steady rise in the popularity of such anti-globalisation political figures as Geert Wilders and Marine Le Pen have signaled a populist movement in the direction of more closed economies.
However, Vistra warns, such anti-globalisation sentiments not only threaten the trusts and corporate services industry, but could also lead to more regulations that in turn will hinder cross-border flows.
In fact, Clifton notes, regulations and initiatives aimed at increasing transparency are already sweeping across the industry.
"Dozens of countries will soon have to follow the Common Reporting Standard, with several other regulatory changes already putting downward pressure on the industry," he said.
"As [such] new regulation is introduced, with the intent to create complete transparency in the industry, we all experience an erosion of privacy.
"This brings into question whether privacy and transparency can [in fact] co-exist."
Privacy still key business driver
Meanwhile, even as the world is moving inexorably and with apparent public backing in the direction of ever greater transparency, the Vistra 2020 report finds, notes, and the days of being able to assure clients that their privacy would be assured are long gone, privacy nevertheless emerges, still, as a leading business driver.
Then there's fintech, which the Vistra 2020 report says the industry is becoming increasingly dependent on, even as technology is one of the main drivers in putting privacy at risk.
Close to 60% of those whom the Vistra 2020 report's researchers surveyed said they believed that by 2020, technology would have disrupted the industry with innovation that would lower costs while fundamentally changing business models, Vistra said.

Well when you're wrong, you're wrong. And not only was Dick Morris (way) wrong about the 2012 Presidential election, I was wrong about how he had nothing to lose by being a pandering assclown.
My blogpost on October 31, 2012, titled Horserace Handicappers: Double Standard Edition misread the election prediction business. Not completely, I was right that Nate Silver's reputation was on the line and that his models were based on science and almost certainly correct. But I also said that Dick Morris had nothing to lose by forecasting a Romney landslide, that he'd be back at the same racket.
Lo and behold there were consequences, Dick Morris was exiled from Fox News shortly after the election. Even the author of Here Come The Black Helicopters was too outlandish for the demographic.
Last night's video montage of Morris's greatest hits on The Last Word With Lawrence O'Donnell diminishes the significance of the move by FNC. With the ousting of Morris and Sarah Palin, Fox will be looking (theoretically) for a more moderate approach.
Lets look who's out there:
Even though Scott Brown is kind of a dolt, he has some appeal and isn't off the rails. His popularity is reasonably high, especially higher than if he were to lose a special election this spring.
I think the cable news outlets should be in a bidding war for Gary Johnson, the 2012 Libertarian candidate for President. His views are conservative and small-government enough to reflect the will of the audience, or to offer contrast. Yet, he still will go off the party line on a number of issues. He's got a mind of his own, which makes for good TV.
Then there's Chris Christie. Maybe his ambition hasn't allowed him to step aside to be a 7-figure talking head, but it's clear he can opine in any forum. It would be easy for him to step aside as Governor of NJ (think something innocuous like "health reasons"). He is capable of throwing bombs at either party if that's what Fox is now going for.
But let's not forget that Morris's second career begins this evening on Piers Morgan Tonight, when the Columbia grad and former Clinton advisor becomes the most refined guest on that show since every gun nut came out of the woodwork after Newtown.
Let's see if Morris tries a new approach, or continues to spout senselessness. I'm sure there's a contract waiting for him somewhere.

If you build a website, customers will come to it. But sometimes they don't arrive as fast as you'd like. Or in as great of numbers as you'd like. Or it's not quite the right customers who are coming.
This is where internet marketing comes in.
Internet marketing is a crucial part of a successful business website. Not only does it increase your traffic, but it can help bring more qualified traffic. There's people out there searching for a business exactly like yours, but without proper marketing, they may never find you.
Of course, internet marketing (or inbound marketing) is a broad term. There are a variety of internet marketing services we provide.
SEO and SEM Services
SEO or Search Engine Optimization is a term that's been around for quite a while, and because of that, it has a bit of a reputation.
The basic principle of SEO is to increase your presence in search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. That means if you're a shoe company in the Twin Cities, the goal would be to have you appear at the top of a search for 'Twin Cities shoes'.
Though it might sound simple, the process of optimizing for search engines is complex, in depth, and it doesn't happen over night. In other words, SEO is a long-term strategy, but if done correctly, it can have a huge impact on your traffic and web presence.
Here are a few of the strategies our Minneapolis SEO Agency implements:
- Keyword Research
- On-Page Optimization
- URL Structure
- Content
- Site Navigation
- Titles And Meta Data
- Off-Site Optimization
- Link Building
- Web Directories
- Social Bookmarking
- Web 2.0 forum profiles
- Social blogging sites
- Article Marketing
- Industry Related
- Guest Posting
- Infographic Creation
- Link Building
- Localized Optimization
- Google Place Page Optimization
- Review Management
- Website Traffic Metrics
- Competitor Analysis
- Landing Page Creation
- SEO Consultation
It starts will figuring out how people are searching for businesses in your industry. From there, we build a plan on how to make sure you appear in those searches. In the end, SEO will not only improve your rankings and increase your online visibility, but it will ultimately lead to increased revenue.
Of course, we use the word end loosely. Search engines are constantly in flux, and because of this, SEO is an ongoing job.

text: Anonymity is vital for many bloggers from marginalised communities or those writing in conflict zones [GALLO/GETTY] Over the past few weeks, much of the world's attention was captured by the story of supposed Syrian blogger Amina Arraf, also known as "Gay Girl in Damascus". From reports on June 6 of Arraf's alleged kidnapping by Syrian security forces to the June 12 confession from American Tom MacMaster that he had fabricated Arraf's entire persona, the story unfolded rapidly, leaving the public confused in its wake. Central to this story is the role that traditional media played in perpetuating what is now known to be a hoax. Though the persona of Amina Arraf was created as early as 2007, Arraf's blog did not gain prominence until earlier this year when, after a small amount of hype in the blogosphere, two major publications - the Guardian and CBS - wrote pieces profiling the blogger. While there are myriad reasons that the story was compelling (several writers have suggested that it was Arraf's sexual identity that drew an audience), the attention given to it by trusted journalistic entities no doubt lent credibility to the blog. The Guardian in particular has come under fire for a March article, in which a pseudonymous journalist in Damascus "interviewed" Arraf without disclosing that she had never met the blogger in person. Later, when Arraf was reported kidnapped, the same newspaper spoke of the events as fact, without the added security of terms like "supposedly" or "allegedly". Lessons for Journalists The treatment of Arraf's story raises serious questions about working with sources, as well as how to quote sources gleaned from social media. Journalists reporting on Arraf should have noted that they had not met her in person. Taking it a step further, they could have used the information provided on her blog - including her alleged full name - to attempt to verify her identity. Their failure to take such precautions is a question of journalistic integrity. Moving forward, it will be vital for journalists who wish to incorporate online sources into their work to develop network literacy: the ability to better identify and use information gleaned from online networks. At Global Voices, where I've written since 2007, authors report only on blogs and social media, making it difficult to verify content. And yet, as authors write about a place that they know well - typically their country of origin or current residence - they are able to rely on their own networks to vet and verify content. Over the years, only a handful of errors have been made (including my own reporting on Amina Arraf). On the other hand, Global Voices has also, on numerous occasions, debunked mainstream reporting errors by closely following local blogospheres. Some mistakes are inevitable when using online sources, but by relying on trusted networks, the vast majority - including, no doubt, the reporting on Amina Arraf - are avoidable. Pseudonymous blogging: a history At the same time, Arraf's case - which was not one of anonymity but one of deception and false identity - should not put into question the right of bloggers to remain anonymous. Bloggers in the region have long relied on pseudonyms to keep safe. When "Salam Pax" started blogging from Baghdad in the early 2000s, pseudonymity was crucial: not only was he critical of the regime, but he was also openly gay. Egyptian blogger "Sandmonkey" only recently came forward with his real identity, after being attacked and beaten by state police while trying to deliver medical supplies to demonstrators in Tahrir Square. In an interview, he stated the attack as his motivation for revealing his true identity. In authoritarian countries such as Syria, bloggers who speak out against the regime risk arrest, or worse. In Mexico, bloggers - such as those behind Blog Del Narco - who report on the actions of the cartels, use pseudonyms to stay safe from retaliation. And in many places, both authoritarian and free, bloggers who are members of the LGBT community remain anonymous as a matter of personal safety. The right to anonymity The right to anonymity online is vital, but remains largely unprotected. In the UK, courts have at times ruled in favor of unmasking anonymous bloggers. And while anonymity is protected by the First Amendment in the United States, in 2009, a court order required Google to turn over the name of a blogger who had been using the Blogspot platform to defame a fashion model. While the latter example reminds us that malicious speech is typically not protected, most who rely on anonymity do so not out of a desire to lob insults with impunity, but out of a genuine need for safety. Anonymous speech is therefore vital: it enables individuals in marginalised communities or risky situations to speak up when it is otherwise unsafe to do so.

On Saturday, we had our first harvest of our Ghost chilli for this year, as many were now orange/red in colour. This is very great timing as the last batch of chilli we harvested and blended has nearly been fully consumed; the flavour of that chilli just keeps us coming back for more – even with that intense burning sensation in the mouth. Hopefully the 2 surviving Ghost chilli plants will continue to grow and over-winter well in our conservatory.
Now after pouring the chilli into these pots, there was still a small amount of chilli left on the blender container. Not one to waste the chilli, my wife and I decided to add some of home-made tomato and basil soup into the container and extract as much of the chilli into the soup as we could. That proved to be a big mistake, as the soup was so spicy HOT!!! that neither of us could finish it; my wife also had to drink quite a fair amount of milk to ease the burning. That's how hot the chilli is. But we love it.

On Wednesday November 4, 2015, a baby girl was born from a 47-year-old Massachusetts woman. It was a complete surprise to both parents; for the past 9 months neither of them knew about the pregnancy. A healthy birth at age 47 is also uncommon.
Shehab Khan from Independent reported the following:
"Judy Brown, from Massachusetts, went to Beverly Hospital complaining of severe abdominal pain, to then be told she was actually in labour. An hour later, much to her surprise, she gave birth to an 8-pound baby.
When Mrs Brown noticed her stomach had started to grow, she assumed it was because she was getting older and most probably due to menopause….
…The parents have named her Carolyn Rose after both of their mothers, and baby and mother are both doing well, according to a hospital spokesman."
Rachel Vorona Cote from Jezebel reported what the mother Judy brown had to say:
"Brown expressed her astonishment to ABC News: 'To understand and take in that was I pregnant and was about to go into labor…it was very overwhelming.'
It's phenomenal and strange for a woman to give birth late in life and not even realize her pregnancy until the last few moments. But, there have been births that were much more surprising. For example, the youngest person to ever give birth was 5 year old Lina Medina of Peru back in 1939; the oldest person to give birth was Rajo Devi Lohan at the age of 70 in India.
Congratulations to Judy and Jason Brown for becoming parents and for the birth of their healthy baby.
Here is a youtube video about the news of the birth.

Tome Topple is a readathon stared by Sam from Thoughts on Tomes – see her announcement video here. The whole idea around this readathon is to read big (500+ page) books. I participated last time (the first time this particular readathon happened), and ended up reading over 2,000 pages in two weeks – see my TBR for last time, and my readathon mini blog. If you want more information, you can also check out the Goodreads group.
The readathon runs from November 18 – December 1.
There are a few challenges this time as well, but I'm going really low-key with this and participating because I have a few large books to get through that I'm struggling with and readathons tend to motivate me. Nevertheless, this is a great readathon, so, in addition to the books I'm planning on reading, I'm including a few reading suggestions for big books as well! Okay, on to the books!
My TBR:
- Victoria: The Queen: An Intimate Biography of the Woman Who Ruled an Empire by Julia Baird. This book comes out on Tuesday, and I already know getting a review up on Monday is just not going to happen. I've been reading this book for about a month now, and I'm less than 200 pages into the 704-page tome. It's an incredible biography – if I had to rate it based on what I've read so far, it's 5-stars – but it's still a slow read, and I've had way too many other things going on in my life. Still, I'd really love to finish this during the readathon (so I can still have a timely review up for you).
- The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen. Okay, this isn't quite 500 pages (it's not even 400 pages). But it's still a pretty intimidating book, so I say it counts. I've been trying to read this for months, but I haven't been able to get into it. It's just something that's not really in my reading wheelhouse, but I would really like to finish it this month because 1) it won this year's Pulitzer, and it looks really interesting and, 2) it is one of the very few books I've found that fit into a specific reading challenge (for the Book Riot Read Harder Challenge) and I need to finish all my reading challenges this year. Not really, but I'm weirdly OCD about those things.
I may or may not throw in another book or two, but I want to talk a relaxed approach because my thesis is kicking my ass at the moment, and I need to spend some time on it.
Reading Suggestions:
- The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. This was actually one of my reads from the last Tome Topple, and I LOVED it! Despite being a huge book, it's actually a quick read, and I actually had a hard time putting it down. If you haven't read this yet, now is a perfect time to pick it up!
- A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara. This is another book that is intimidatingly large, but a surprisingly fast read. I read about half of it in one day. It's incredibly compelling and brilliantly written. But make sure you have a box of tissues (or two) before you jump in.
- The Diviners by Libba Bray. If you're in the mood for a young adult book, I highly recommend this one! It's the perfect fall read – even better if it's raining – and, again, an amazingly quick read despite it's length. I actually finished this one in one day, so don't let the size put you off.
- Habibi by Craig Thompson. I'm still in love with this brilliant graphic novel, and can't stop recommending it. It's easily the longest (and most beautiful) graphic novel I own (I even used it in the header picture), so it totally suits this readathon. If you haven't picked it up yet, or are interested in diverse literature, this is a must-read in my opinion.
If you're participating in this round of Tome Topple, let me know in the comments! I'd love to hear what you're planning on reading (feel free to link your TBR).

I have always assumed that when an established artist doesn't attend an award ceremony; with the exception to The Grammy's; it's because the artist has a conflicting schedule.
Seems my assumption was proved wrong during the night of the VMA's.
I assumed that Keyshia Cole's VMA absence was due to a conflicting schedule. Turns out it was because she was uninvited.
Keyshia explained the reasons for being uninvited on twitter by saying:
"MTV told me I'm not an MTV artist"
Check out her full tweet fest here:
I feel bad for you Keyshia. Don't listen to them!

Chicken Piccata
I love crispy, battered, deep fried chicken. LOVE it. However, you will rarely ever see me make it because, as much as I love it, I know how terrible it can be for you. If I managed to perfect fried chicken, I would make it far too often. So, not that it wins healthiest dish of the year, but, breaded chicken is my replacement. This breaded chicken cutlet recipe is simple and versatile. Shown here, they are easily made into Chicken Piccata. But they can also be made into yummy Chicken Parmesean or (using the same technique but with chicken tenderloin rather than breasts) Chicken Fingers.
This recipe is great. Though my honey consistently loves what I cook, this is the first thing he told me I need to make every week. Yay, obviously a job well done. My honey has discerning taste.
Chicken Piccata
- 2 whole chicken breasts
- 1.5 c flour
- 1.5 c bread crumbs
- 1/4 tsp basil
- 1/4 tsp marjoram
- 1/4 tsp oregano
- 1/4 tsp rosemary
- 1/3 tsp thyme
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp water
- extra virgin olive oil
- 6 tbsp butter
- 3 lemons
- 1 c chardonnay (or another dry white)
- 1 tbsp capers (optional)
- parsley
For the cutlets…
Preheat oven to 400 F. Split chicken breasts in half. With meat tenderizer, pound the chicken breasts until they are thin (1/4 inch or so). Liberally season with S&P. Heat a medium/large skillet on medium heat. Line up the breading assembly line. Bowl 1: Flour and enough equal parts S&P for the flour to appear speckled. Bowl 2: Beat the eggs and water. Bowl 2: Mix bread crumbs and seasoning. Add 2 tbsp olive oil to pan. Dredge first two chicken cutlets into the bowls in order (1,2,3), place in the olive oil. Cook on each side until they are golden brown. Transfer to a baking dish. Add 2 more tbsp olive oil, dredge chicken cutlets, and so on and so forth.
Finish cutlets in the oven. 10 minutes should do the trick. They should be firm to the touch.
For the sauce…
Wipe any fallen crumbs from skillet. Over medium-low heat, melt 4 tbsp butter. Add lemon juice from 2 lemons, wine, capers (if using). Allow to reduce to half. Take off of the heat. Add the rest of the butter (cube it first, it will melt faster than a big stick). Serve on top of crispy and moist cutlets with 1 or 2 slices of lemon. Garnish with parsley.
P.S. Please please please get some cooking wine from the wine section and not the food section – grab some 3 Buck Chuck from Trader Joe's (if you are so lucky to have one nearby) or some Four Leaf from Walmart ($3).

I Have a Dream
About the Book
I Have a Dream
In a starred review, Kirkus Reviews raves, "An award-winning artist captures the passion and purpose of this most notable 20th century American speech...A title for rememberance and for re-dedication to the dream."
On August 28, 1963, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington, Martin Luther King gave one of the most powerful and memorable speeches in our nation's history. His words, paired with Caldecott Honor winner Kadir Nelson's magificent paintings, make for a picture book certain to be treasured by children and adults alike. The themes of equality and freedom for all are not only relevant today, 50 years later, but also provide young readers with an important introduction to our nation's past.
From Dr. Bernice A. King: "My father's dream continues to live on from generation to generation, and this beautiful and powerful illustrated edition of his world-changing 'I Have a Dream' speech brings his inspiring message of freedom, equality, and peace to the youngest among us—those who will one day carry his dream forward for everyone."

I LOVE IT! I really like the shadow, his finger nail, the puma's head, and the texture of his clothing. Who would have thought that Skeletor could be a work of art?

Community rushes to support 17 left homeless
A fire ripped through a family compound in George Town shortly after 8 p.m. Friday, leaving 17 people homeless.
"We've lost everything," said Johnny Buttrum as he sifted through the wreckage of his home on Saturday. Passports, cash and treasured family photos all went up in smoke as the compound – a group of adjoining flats, shared by Mr. Buttrum, three of his siblings and their children between ages 1 and 15 – burned to the ground in six minutes Friday evening.
No one was injured in the blaze. The family, and five tenants, were temporarily relocated to the Westin resort.
Meanwhile, an immediate, spontaneous community fundraising effort, organized by Matthew Leslie, of Cayman Islands Brewery, had raised thousands of dollars in donations, clothing, food, and food vouchers for the family by Sunday morning.
Eddie Buttrum, one of the owners of the family compound in Windsor Park, said he was overwhelmed by the community response.
"This proves we are united as a people. I'm so grateful, words can't explain it. It really is hard times ahead, but we know there is hope with this amount of community support behind us."
The remnants of the homes were being demolished on Sunday morning by a volunteer demolition crew from Island Waste Carriers.
The Buttrums, who built the wooden structures themselves around 20 years ago, say they plan to rebuild and move back in.
Mr. Leslie said he was called to the scene of the fire by a friend in the area. He posted pictures of the burned-out shell of the building on his Facebook page and organized CayBrew staff and volunteers in a public appeal for help.
"The reaction has been amazing," he said Saturday afternoon, amid piles of clothes, toys and boxes of food that had steadily accumulated throughout the day.
Two children stopped by with their piggy bank and donated $50 to the cause; another child and her parents stopped in with a box of toys. Kirk Market and Cost U Less were among the local businesses to contribute some $3,000 worth of food and food vouchers during the day.
"The main thing was to get them food, supplies, clothing and cash. Now we have to work with authorities to find them somewhere to live and to help them get the home rebuilt," said Mr. Leslie, who has promised CayBrew will match the cash donations from the community.
Johnny Buttrum, 43, who works with the Department of Environmental Health, said all of the family's possessions were lost. When the fire broke out, he was sitting in his room watching karate. He said he ran to get his nephews out of the front room, close to where the blaze started, then came back for his daughters. He tried to battle the fire himself until emergency crews arrived, but the flames were overwhelming and the structure burned in a matter of minutes.
A crowd of neighbors and family members were gathered outside the home Saturday afternoon. The roof of the building had collapsed, doors had fallen in and melted appliances lay amid the wreckage.
Charred gym equipment was scattered about the yard and a charred truck sat in the front driveway.
Johnny Buttrum's daughters Hanielle, 12, and Janielle, 14, had arrived on the island just this week, visiting from the U.K., where they live with their mother.
"We were playing in the back room and then my dad came through shouting 'fire, fire' and we ran outside. It's a big shock," said Hanielle.
Sandra Miller, area representative for Windsor Park, said she was coordinating with authorities on behalf of the family to find them temporary housing.
She said, "This is a community where we help each other out. We don't have much, but we are there for each other."
The cause of the fire remains unknown. Neither police nor fire officials responded to requests for information over the weekend.

Acupuncture is a form of therapy that originates from Chinese medical practices, which aims at relieving pain by placing needles in specific regions of the body where the pain or discomfort is being felt, as well as distant areas that may be contributing to the pain. The appropriate combination of needle placement has the ability to reduce inflammation and pain, stiffness, and muscle spasms in some patients. Its effectiveness is also attributed to the release of pain relieving hormones called endorphins into the body. Some patients who feel like conventional treatment methods are not improving their symptoms may decide to try acupuncture and in certain cases, this form of therapy has been more effective than commonly used treatments.
There are several types of acupuncture that are currently being used. These include:
Conditions that can be treated with acupuncture include:
Conditions that can be treated with acupuncture include:
If acupuncture is not performed by an experienced and certified professional the risks may include improper placement, worsening of symptoms, and burning of the skin from laser acupuncture.

How is it that during the same 10-day span in which I must sit in grading jail, write two end of term administrative reports (with spreadsheet appendices), assist weeping students with graduation problems, and attend 2 and possibly 3 department holiday parties, that I receive first-stage page proofs and a page of editor queries for a forthcoming article? Proofs and queries that must, of course, be returned, within 8 days.
