"Finally" and "About time" were amongst the remarks of many reactions yesterday when Google officially announced their "disavow links" tool at Pubcon. The tool is a way to let as a site owner Google know which links pointing at your site you think should be ignored by Google.
The tool was already expected by many SEOs because Google had been testing it out amongst several SEOs in the past few weeks and Bing already launched its own tool back in June. The tool can be seen as a direct response to Penguin updates: sites with a lot of bad links need to clean up their act. With this tool Google makes that a bit easier. But not just for the site owners, for themselves as well.
What is it?
As said the tool is really meant to clean up bad links pointing at your website. The best way to do that until now was to figure out which links are potentially bad and trying to get them removed at the source. To be clear: that still is the best way to 'clean up' even though it takes up the most time and you are not sure whether or not you can get links removed.
The tool Google launched yesterday can help site owners do more in 'bulk'. When you received messages in Google Webmaster Tools notifying you of a manual spam action based on "unnatural links" pointing to your site you can use this tool to tell Google which links you think are the ones which should be taken out of consideration.
Important to know here is that it is NOT a tool which allows you to 'delete' these links. You are telling Google which ones should, in your eyes, not be counted, Google will then take a look at them and might agree with you or not.
How does it work?
The tool works pretty simple (makes you wonder why it took them so long to launch, it is not a technical issue, that is sure). Once you got the messages in GWT as a 'nice' website owner you will try and get rid of the bad links. The once you cannot get rid off you can inform Google about.
You go to the Disavow page and upload a (text)file with the links in it you believe should be disavowed.
Google is clear about the format:
The format is straightforward. All you need is a plain text file with one URL per line. An excerpt of a valid file might look like the following:
# Contacted owner of spamdomain1.com on 7/1/2012 to
# ask for link removal but got no response
# Owner of spamdomain2.com removed most links, but missed these
After that it is time to wait for Google. And that wait can take a while. It is like sending a postcard to the other end of the world and not knowing when you will get an answer, let alone what the answer actually is. Cutts said it could take weeks before Google responds. And if you decide somewhere in the middle of that waiting time to adjust your file, the waiting will start from scratch again.
Fully explained
To fully explain the tool Matt Cutts created a 10 minute video which you can find below.
For whom is this tool intended?
Now before you go and run to Google to tell them about all the links you bought or about all the links you think are pointing at you but shouldn't, hold your horses.
Google specifically lets know that this tool is meant for those with issues, site owners which have received notifications in GWT about bad links. If you didn't have those messages I'd suggest you leave the tool alone for now.
Cutts even points out in the video that it is mainly for the bigger sites. Smaller sites will be able to ignore this tool in general.
So it is for big sites and for those who did something wrong… In his video Cutts specifically mentions that it is intended for those who might have done something 'wrong' in the past. He points at those who 'might have bought links' in the past and want to clean up their act now.
Smart Google
The launch of this tool will help SEOs but it will even more help Google in their fight against spam. Off course, Google will know from most of the links whether or not these are bad links and even if they are indeed bought or not. But the data (yes, again it is about data as well) which Google will receive from this tool will be priceless. SEOs will be telling Google what bad links are, which one they (potentially) bought.
Google will happily embrace that data.

So, get ready to share how you teach percentages, or if you have any ideas you can think of with them. I hope to see you back on Thursday : )
Back to some suggestions for math activities...
I don't know about you, but I get a ton of magazines and catalogs in the mail. Most of them end up in my recycling trash, but here are some ideas you can do with those magazines and catalogs instead of throwing them away immediately.
- Do a math scavenger hunt. Some ideas are:
- Have cards with math equations and they have to find that number and cut it out from the magazine.
- Have color and/or shape patterns where they have to cut out the next color and/or shape.
- Have twenty-six math problems that the kids need to solve. Each one will be associated with a letter. Have important words of your clues for the scavenger hunt be in that code.
- Give the kids 3 minutes to find as many ads as they can. Make lists of similarities and differences of the ads. Who has the longest list? What was the average number of similarities in the class?
- Pick a price and find how many items are below that price or above that price. Timing the kids can make it fun.
- Get as close to a given budget as possible. If you have exactly $37, what items can you possibly buy with getting as close to that as possible but not going over budget.
Have you used magazines and catalogs in your class before? If so, how did you use them?

Congrats, 2016 Chopin Fest Winners Congrats to Chopin Festival Winners from Saturday's annual NW Chopin Council event. Alex Camai (gold), Nile Camai (silver), Jonathan Staley (gold), and Kevin Yip (gold) got recognized for their wonderful performances.
Not everyone was.
This festival is one of the most difficult area competitions, now attracting students of very prominent teachers from other parts of the country. There were approximately 30 competitors in each category.
It is great to be chosen. However, there's 1,001 things that go into it. Alex, for example, dreamt of getting the gold at the NW Chopin Fest. He's been with us for ten years, worked hard, and happened to be at the right place and right time when it happened for him on Saturday. He's also been going religiously since 2008, often playing very well, but not always being remembered. Having 30-50 participants makes it very hard to be remembered even by the most experienced judge.
Getting the gold takes more than just practice (but it takes a lot of it!). To be competitive, it takes practicing as much or more than others. It takes great guidance and instruction (obviously), but it also takes confidence, multiple run-throughs in public, sacrifice (prioritizing music), listening, immersing oneself in music, and not least of all… luck!
A performer is only in control of what he/she can control. That is preparation, discipline, passion, sacrifice, and coaching. As if that's not already difficult enough, it also takes someone to recognize those qualities in us, and to appreciate and connect with that performance. This is where subjectivity comes in. There are hundreds of factors (psychology, personal taste, random performing order, feeling sick) about which we can do nothing but accept. As much as it is hard to swallow, there's no guarantee the listener is going to like or agree with what they hear. This is why we have to be at the right place and right time when we have done everything possible that we can ultimately can control. Then, we must be grateful when it does happen.
In the end, it is the same for those who get decorated, and those who do not… we simply go back to practicing, and go back to enjoying music. Because, ultimately, who cares if some Mr. or Mrs. "X" like our playing? It's we, ourselves, who experience the music from minute to minute, day by day, throughout our entire lives. And, like one of our friends says, "Competitions are like buses. If you miss this one, there's always another one coming in five minutes."

Code Talker Passes at Age 92
Published January 14, 2016
WINDOW ROCK, ARIZONA — Ernest Yazhe, a Navajo Code Talker who served in both the Guam and Okinawa campaigns, died Tuesday in Salt Lake City. He was 92.
He was born in Naschitti and graduated from the Albuquerque Indian School. He is the son of the late Taneezahni Yazhi and Nannebah Belle Yazhi.
Shortly after graduating, in September of 1942, he joined the U.S. Marine Corps and found himself in New Caledonia being trained as a Code Talker along with 30 other Navajos.
In 2013, he was in a video now on YouTube in which he talked about the Guam and Okinawa campaigns. The video was done by the Utah National Guard which honored him in 2013 for his service to the country as a Navajo Code Talker during World War II.
After getting an honorable discharge in February 1946, he went to work for the Intermountain Indian School in Brigham City, Utah. It was there that he met his wife, Katie, who died in 2007. They had four daughters and three sons together.
After a year at the school, they went back to the reservation for a brief period, living in Nageezi.
In 1948, he traveled to Salt Lake City where he went to work for the Kennecott Mining Corporation, where he worked for the next 38 years in various positions.
After he retired, he settled down in Sandy, Utah.
Family members said that while he was proud to have been a Navajo Code Talker, he did not participate very much in Code Talker activities. He did, however, participate in the ceremonies in 2002 in which members of the Code Takers received Congressional medals honoring their service to their country.
"He was a great, kind and loving father," said his daughter, Lisa Yazhe.
Funeral services have been arranged. Visitation will be from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday at the Evans and Early Funeral Home in Salt Lake City.
The funeral has been set to begin at 11 a.m. Tuesday at the Camp Williams Military Cemetery about 25 miles south of Salt Lake City. Burial will be there as well.
(Navajo Times Editor's note: The Times confirmed that Ernest Yazhe is correct. His father spelled his last name as Yazhi.)

For decades, Sidley has supported the LGBTQ community and LGBTQ lawyers. Notably, Sidley was among the first large law firms to grant parity in healthcare, leave and other employee benefits for same-sex domestic partners internationally. Today, openly LGBTQ lawyers practice in all of our firmwide offices, serve on the firm's leadership and administrative committees and contribute their time to address issues affecting the larger LGBTQ community.
Sidley was the first law firm in the United States to become a national sponsor of Lambda Legal.
Sidley sponsors and recruits at the Lavender Law Conference & Career Fair each year. To enhance the pipeline of LGBTQ law students into the legal profession, Sidley also supports OUTLaw and other LGBTQ affinity groups at law schools across the country. Examples of this outreach include a 2018 networking reception hosted by the Chicago Diversity Committee for Chicago-area and Midwest LGBTQ law students and advocacy groups. Representatives from Northwestern, University of Michigan, University of Illinois, University of Chicago, Chicago-Kent, Loyola, DePaul and John Marshall attended, and met leaders of local and national LGBTQ bar and advocacy groups, as well as Sidley lawyers. The firm also hosted a dinner for Fordham OUTLaw and sponsored the University of Michigan OUTLaw's Kevin E. Kennedy Scholarship Gala in 2017, among many other OUTLaw events.
LGBTQ law students are welcome to apply to the firm's 1L Diversity Mentorship Program.
R. Jason Burch (New York) talks with law school students at the Midwest LGBTQ networking reception in Chicago.
Through the LGBTQ Buddy program, each incoming LGBTQ first-year associate is paired with an established LGBTQ Sidley lawyer who acts as an informal mentor. LGBTQ partners also participate in the firm's diverse senior partner business development mentoring program and utilize the firm's Diverse Partner Business Development Fund. In addition, LGBTQ lawyers are enrolled in the firm's Diversity Mentoring Program (DMP) for diverse lawyers.
Once LGBTQ lawyers join the firm, Sidley invests in their talent and development through a number of initiatives. The Diversity Committee has taken steps to combat social isolation and help new LGBTQ lawyers integrate themselves into the firm and legal profession. The committee regularly hosts local social and educational events to support lawyers who identify as LGBTQ. These include programs on key legal cases, film showings, speakers from LGBTQ bar and advocacy groups and more. Quarterly teleconferences for all LBGTQ lawyers in our Hong Kong, U.S. and UK offices facilitate cross-office networking and business development. LGBTQ partners also personally host happy hours and small gatherings for LGBTQ lawyers and their families throughout the year. Through our Partner Up! program, associates receive a quarterly reimbursement for an informal networking activity with a Sidley partner or senior counsel.
Sidley hosts the Out of America event at our London office.
Sidley lawyers provide pro bono services in a range of matters of significance to the LGBTQ community. These include marriage equality, political asylum and immigrants' right cases for openly gay, HIV+ or transgender clients, as well as adoption/parental rights cases. The firm filed an amicus brief in Obergefell v. Hodges. Our lawyers also successfully challenged a Nevada law prohibiting HIV+ individuals from adopting children. The firm has provided pro bono assistance to Immigration Equality, the National Immigrant Justice Center's LGBT Immigrant Rights Initiative and Whitman-Walker Health, among other organizations.
We're proud of the fact that Sidley was the first law firm in the United States to become a national sponsor of Lambda Legal — and our support continues today. The firm also sponsors a number of other LGBTQ bar associations and organizations, including the Human Rights Campaign, Equality Illinois, Outfest Los Angeles LGBTQ Film Festival, London's Interlaw and the Hong Kong Gay and Lesbian Attorneys Network.
Leading LGBTQ advocacy groups have recognized Sidley's efforts to create an inclusive firm. In 2019, Sidley received a "perfect" score of 100 percent on the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index for the 12th year in a row. In 2017, Equality Illinois named Sidley as a "top law firm for LGBT inclusiveness and equality" for the eighth time. Sidley lawyers have been included on the National LGBT Bar Association's list of "Best LGBT Lawyers Under 40" from 2012–2017.

Hamtaro Hams' it Up at Burger King
While mice and rats are certainly not welcome at Burger King restaurants, hamsters are another story. ShoPro Ent.'s Hamtaro and the Ham- Hams, stars of the hit Cartoon Network show Hamtaro, will be showing up in Burger King kids' meals at participating restaurants this month. The loveable and courageous rodents appear as themselves or masquerading in full Halloween garb as specially created toys in throughout North America from Oct. 6 through Nov. 2.
Burger King Corp. developed eight versatile Hamtaro toys. Hamtaro himself, along with pals Penelope, Bijou, Panda, Boss, Oxnard, Elder Ham and Cappy, are featured exactly as they appear on the Hamtaro series and can change into disguises appropriate for the trick-or-treat season.
The Ham-Ham costumes actually inspired the show's producers to create a special Hamtaro Halloween episode, which will air in prime time on Cartoon Network Oct. 21 at 8 p.m. and Oct. 30 at 8:30 p.m. "Ham-Ham Halloween" features the hamsters wearing the same costumes as the Burger King toys.
The anime favorite Hamtaro tells the story of hero Hamtaro and his good-natured band of hamster friends. Each episode features the little hamsters having big adventures as they misinterpret the world of their human guardians and eventually figure it all out.
In Japan, Hamtaro is one of the most popular children's properties and has generated more than $3 billion in sales since its launch on TV Tokyo in July 2000. ShoPro Ent's other properties include Inuyasha, Corrector Yui and MegaMan: NT Warrior.

Previously you had to pay up front for insulation to be installed into your home, and then recieve the rebate from the Australian government. Now you can simply get the insulation istalled and only pay the excess. I am paying $64 for my whole house to get the insulation from the government. It's free money. Who would'nt be happy with that.
There are some conditions though – a person living in their house will get the full rebate of $1,600 but if you are renting the house out (ie you are a landlord) or you have a holiday home (don't we all wish!!) you can get $1,000 rebate.
I suggest you ring your local insulation installer to ask for more details. Either way it is a great gift for all of us, oh yeah, and the enviroment.
Follow this link for more information http://www.environment.gov.au/energyefficiency/insulation/index.html
A few funny stories that people have told me when getting the insulation installed:
- One lady had a guy come to the house that had a big whole in his shorts at the back and nothing underneath. The lady spent the whole hour trying to avoid looking at this guys behind. "He was a nice looking fella" she said when she was trying to explain the situation to her husband.
- Another lady had the guys turn up to install the insulation and she already had a roof full. She never bothered to even check before she booked them to do it.

A curse and a blessing
April 7, 2014 § 38 Comments
The curse
When Brendan Eich stepped in as a CEO, Mozilla and him were immediately faced a storm demanding his resignation because of his political opinions. To the best of my knowledge, none of those responsible for the storm were employees of the Mozilla Corporation and only 4 or 5 of them were members of the Mozilla Community (they were part of the Mozilla Foundation, which is a different organization).
When Brendan Eich resigned from his position as an employee of Mozilla, Mozilla was immediately faced by a storm assuming that Brendan Eich had been fired, either because of his opinions or as a surrender to the first storm.
Both storms are still raging, fueled by angry (and dismayed and saddened) crowds and incompetent news reporting.
We will miss Brendan. We have suffered and we will continue suffering from these storms. But we can also salvage from them.
The blessing
Think about it. We are being criticized by angry crowds. But the individuals who form these crowds are not our enemies. Many of them care deeply about Freedom of Speech and are shocked because they believe that we are extinguishing this freedom. Others care primarily about equality, an equality that can seldom be achieved wherever there is no Freedom of Speech.
Freedom of Speech. This is one of the core values of Mozilla, one of the values for which we have been fighting all these years.
We are being criticized by some of the people who need us most. They are our users, or our potential users, and they are getting in touch with us. Through Facebook, through Twitter, through the contribute form, through the governance mailing-list, through our blogs, or in real life discussions.
Some will say that we should ignore them. Some will be tempted to answer anger with anger and criticism with superiority.
Do neither. They are our users. They deserve to be heard.
We should listen to them. We should answer their concerns, not with FAQs or with press releases, but with individual answers, because these concerns are valid. We should explain what really happened. We should show them how Mozilla is largely about defending Freedom of Speech through the Open Web.
So please join the effort to answer the angry crowds. If you can, please reach out to media and the public and get the story out there. If only one person out of a hundred angry users receives the message and decides to join the community and the fight for the open web, we will have salvaged a victory out of the storm.
§ 38 Responses to A curse and a blessing
Mozilla just fired some one for having an opinión and you dare to talk about how Mozilla is about "Freedom of speach", so comic. #uninstallfirefox.
Just let me quote Mitchell Baker about this issue:
"Mozilla prides itself on being held to a different standard and, this past week, we didn't live up to it. We know why people are hurt and angry, and they are right: it's because we haven't stayed true to ourselves."
Why didn't Mozilla live to its standars? How come Mozilla wasn true of them selves?
"We didn't act like you'd expect Mozilla to act. We didn't move fast enough to engage with people once the controversy started. We're sorry. We must do better."
Why they must do faster and better? so, Brendan should have been fired more quickly?
You people don't even read the statements of your superiors?
Pretty Good Spin With the Lipstick Wand on That Pig, Yoric!
"fueled by angry crowds and incompetent news reporting."
I'd call it "incompetent Corporate Values", the angry crowds as you call them, are in reality a dismayed and shocked crowd. Shocked by this action of bigotry. To continue to spin your story to justify your Mozilla Corporate actions, just makes the Pig that much more uglier.
Out of curiosity, what media form has been providing "incompetent reporting"? I'd believe that if it was from the dominant liberal and biased Mainstream media sources, if only they would report on it at all, let alone factually.
Not buying it Yoric, Can't Kiss That Pig!!! It has "curse" written all offer it!
Former Firefox User,
Am I correct about the following points?
1. Mozilla sopports the LGBT community
2. most mozillians support the LGBT community
(Both things are stated in the very first lines of every single post I have read but maybe one or two)
3. Mozilla is an organization with a "progressive vision" populated mostly by "progressive" people, besides some rare exceptions.
(In the same time Mozilla prides itself for its "diversity". I would like to know how many people inside Mozilla's "diversity" share Eich's positions or any other "not-progressive" position and how those people feel being part of the "diversity".)
4. the LGBT community wanted Eich out because of his donation and his opinion on the "same-sex marriage" law. Mozilla and mozillians disagree with Eich, ojected his actions about the known proposition, they strongly support the LGBT community but in the same time they supported Eich and asked him to stay.
(one could say "ok Mozilla supports the LGBT community in everything but this case". But then why mozillians write "when Eich was appointed CEO I felt uncomfortable, I did not agree, etc… then I supported him"? And what does "support" mean? To not beat somebody with a stick? To pretend frienship and stab his back later? Difficult to say.)
If what I wrote above is correct, Mozilla (and mozillians) should be used in dictionaries as example of the word "hypocrisy". Or "confused ideas" at best.
To the best of my knowledge, none of those responsible for the storm were employees of the Mozilla Corporation and only 4 or 5 of them were member [sic] of the Mozilla Community.
As that's written, I think that's technically accurate, but misleading. Most people don't know the difference between the Mozilla Corporation and the Mozilla Foundation, so will read that as 'were not Mozilla employees'.
[…] begins? Just saw this via the Mozilla planet blog, A curse and a blessing | Il y a du thé renversé au bord de la table In the comments for this blog post appears to be a reply by Brendan Eich, BrendanEich […]
Now I've been on the net going back to running a BBS in the 80's and I'm wondering a few things:
1. What do social issues have to do with opensource or the promotion of free access to information? As you are witnessing now the global social issues will destroy your original mandate if you dabble.
2. Research of publicly accessible data reveals that these individuals (Chris McAvoy, Chloe Varelidi, John Bevan, Jessica Klein, and Sydney Moyer) took to Twitter and brought their politics to the workplace. All have gone off radar since starting this mess for the corporation. Are none of these are Mozilla employees? I believe all list themselves as employees of Mozilla.
3. Let's not be disingenuous here, the pressure (2 gay app writers, a dating site, and 5 disgruntled employees) was created by other employees to force Eich's resignation. We even have their Twitter posts stating as such. This pressure created the impression that the company was now under threat of boycott by the gay community at large. Funny how it turns out that pressure was illusionary and that the REAL public outcry would be as it has. So yes, he was forced out and as a gentleman withdrew so as to not offend any longer. No?
If I have any of the facts above wrong then please do correct me.
While he wasn't fired. I didn't hear one word standing up for him & his rights!
The core problem is that executive management didn't slap down employees who called for BE's firing because of his political views/actions. Those individuals felt free saying someone else should be fired because of their political beliefs, not realizing that the same standard can now be applied to them.
It really says, loud and clear, that only certain beliefs are allowed to be expressed. Not much diversity there.
I was a paid member to Netscape so many years ago, but I am now Firefox free on my active systems (I will purge any that become active again as I come across them). I had been dabbling with Chrome already and I am going to play with Pale Moon now as well.
Mozilla has just committed suicide. Hope it was worth it for the cause.
How is this any different than past witch hunts that get the opposite reaction?

From early childhood collaborations, K-12 initiatives, internship programs and Young Professionals Network (YPN) South Bend, the South Bend Region, through the St. Joseph County Chamber of Commerce, is engaging and connecting businesses to the next generation of talent—to ensure a consistent and continual pipeline of talent.
Student Preparation
A database is being built to capture information on a broad range of professionals and other participants who are interested in student preparation and workforce readiness. Opportunities include speaking to middle and high school classes on career pathways, job shadowing, assisting in mock interviews and resume evaluation and taking part in conversations regarding workforce needs.
Project Lead the Way (PLTW) is the nation's leading provider of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) programs. The curriculum combines the "how-to-do" with the "why-to-do," placing an emphasis on the process.
To make the program available to St. Joseph County schools, the Chamber partnered with the United Way of St. Joseph County and generous donors to reach the Project Lead The Way matching grant goal. During the 2014-15 school year, in St. Joseph County, 20 new PLTW programs were established, 180 teachers trained and more than 8,500 students will be impacted by this STEM curriculum. An additional 20 programs are on track to begin during the 2015-16 school year, with teacher training set to begin in June.
Manufacturing Day (MFG DAY) is a celebration of modern manufacturing, meant to inspire the next generation of manufacturers. It addresses common misperceptions about manufacturing by giving manufacturers an opportunity to open their doors and show, in a coordinated effort, what manufacturing is and what it isn't.
Co-produced by various national manufacturing associations, last year marked the first time the concept was brought to this area. The Chamber, in concert with Ivy Tech Community College, worked with the South Bend Community School Corporation and local companies to give high school students the opportunity to see manufacturing firsthand. In its first year, 422 students, 31 educators and 19 manufacturers participated. Manufacturers welcomed students to their facilities for tours and shared what kind of education is necessary to be a part of their team.
MFG DAY 2015 takes place on Friday, October 2. The celebration continues Saturday, October 3 when residents will be treated to South Bend's rich manufacturing history as part of South Bend 150's Discovery Series.
The St. Joseph County Chamber's internSJC program works to increase the quantity and quality of experiential learning in the South Bend Region by encouraging businesses to provide students with real-world experience through internships. Students are encouraged to post their profiles on the state's internship site, IndianaINTERN.net, while employers are encouraged to post internship opportunities.
In partnership with our local colleges and universities, IndianaINTERN.net and the University of Notre Dame's enFocus program, the Chamber grew the number of IndianaINTERN.net internship postings in our region by more than 75% between 2012 and 2014.
If your business is interested in hiring an intern, please post the opportunity on IndianaINTERN.net, or if you need help in starting an internship program, contact Kate Lee at 574.400.4030, or by email.
Last summer, the St. Joseph County Chamber, through internSJC, introduced the Summer Community Engagement Program (SCEP) to immerse interns in the community to show them what the region has to offer. In 2014, through the program, a network of 59 participating interns was created. The interns engaged in planned events and weekly "challenges." When surveyed at the end of the summer, 79% of responding interns said that they were more likely to accept a full-time position with their summer employer as a result of their internship and SCEP experience.

14 aways - 19 aways10 aways - 18 aways 9 aways - 15 aways 8 aways - 14 aways 6 aways - 13 aways 5 aways - 10 aways 4 aways - 7-8 aways due to Norwich approx 30 tickets on 4 sale. 3 aways - up to 4 aways due to limited numbers 2 aways - 2 aways1 aways - up to 2 aways limited due to number of applicants exceeding amount on sale.
If only i had gone to 1 extra game last season or even brought it and sold it on the exchange to get me uo to 4....i'd be on 7/8 but instead find myself on 2.Now Wigan are going down....brilliant
Been trying to get on the ladder since 06, slowly built it up too 11 aways from this season. Feel bad for those who have only recently started but it wont be the last time the opportunity arises to get on the ladder! till then the ticket exchange will be open.
Ok any similar predictions for next season? I'm expecting Wigan to go down so 2 aways - 1 away......gutted
I have no aways on my card and I haven't even bothered trying because I can just sense it won't happen any time soon, but I've still been to quite a few aways (all the London ones plus another 4-5) thanks to contacts made through the ticket exchange. If your primary concern is going to the games, there is always a way but if your primary concern is ticket hunting, good luck to you but I think it will be incredibly difficult.
all that should matter is you get a ticket for face value
Not correct, as the day you secure the ticket has a massive impact on travelling plans. Also, if you live in a different city to the seller and he's not attending the match, you need to secure the ticket at least 3 days before the match.All that should happen is that you get your tickets from the club.
I went to Newcastle but didn't really enjoy it as it wasn't on my card. As our 6th goal went in, everyone was going mental, I just gave a half hearted cheer. After it'd calmed down my mate asked me what was up, I explained that it really felt like a hollow victory given that I didn't get the credit on my card. I think he was faintly embarrassed, because he'd managed to get one in the general sale and was having the time of his life. We're not even mates anymore really.
exactly what matters is you go to the game - that is all.
I reckon they should make a few of the least appealing games available to those who've got a certain number of home league games. Say 13 home credits for 25% of the allocation of 3-5 games. That way its not a completely closed shop and there is a way to get on the ladder but its still people who go to games that are getting on the ladder.
I can see your point but 25% is way too much.But if that would be the case I can see people getting max 1 of the 5 matches and I don't think that's enough to stay on the ladder anyway. If not Wigan, Blackburn or Bolton gets promoted.But it would be a good opportunity for more people to get a chance to attend away matches, but seeing as someone with X aways would miss out on a ticket I'm not sure...
Yeah the numbers might be wrong but the point was this would be a way of allowing people to get on the ladder but having to have built up loyalty with the club before they can, those who have attended 13 or more homes have proved they go to games and so deserve a chance to be on the away ladder. And this would be a way for the club to at least be able to say its not a closed shop without just putting a percentage of a certain number of games on a free for all where anyone can get them.
When the club allowed members to get away tickets they increased the number of people with credits. This has meant that the minimum credits was 1. This may be 2-3 next season. Basically without wigan, Bolton and blackburn we look to have a worse closed shop than ever.
i watched the chelsea game at my sisters. her 12 year old son is severly autistic and i forgot myself and jumped up screaming at the goal and he went nuts. screaming and shouting. scared the fuck out of me. apologised to my sister as i thought id upset him, turns out he was joining in.
managed to get to 11 this year.... hopefully this will be up to 15-16 this time next year
I went to Newcastle but didn't really enjoy it as it wasn't on my card. As our 6th goal went in, everyone was going mental, I just gave a half hearted cheer.

I think he was faintly embarrassed, because he'd managed to get one in the general sale and was having the time of his life. We're not even mates anymore really.
brother in law joined as LFC membership last season and got 4 away tickets and this season think he is on approx 7/8. Not bad for a closed shop!just got to be on the ball for that additional sale that comes up the week of the game.
If they mess up again like they did with West Ham if you're on the ball you might get one which could then get you more. Def worth paying attention in case

- It is very popular in Europe but has long lost its popularity in the United States.
- It offers a variety of benefits, but it would change many aspects of the American economy.

The Kryptonite crystal in this video might put fear into the heart of Superman, but it's just another day in the life of Objet Connex multi-material 3D Printers.
To see how this Kryptonite crystal and its rock base were actually prepared by Canada-based Proto3000, watch the following video. You'll not only see 3D printing in action, you'll also witness the different steps and techniques required to finish the crystal and give it its bright glow.
This is a great example of how 3D printing is being used to produce end-use products. This also explains why 3D printed props and accessories are increasingly starring in Hollywood movies…and why Lex Luthor is checking out Objet Connex.

Last Thursday was my first time light painting (Painting with Light – my continued experiment), and last night I was at it again. Jumping up and down, running side to side, on and off furniture. Yikes! As my experimenting continues and grows, I will experiment with other tools, ideas, etc. It's a work in process, one that I enjoy.

Mini-Microsoft is the name of a blog maintained by an anonymous author who appears to be a Microsoft employee. The term is also generally used as a pseudonym for the author of the blog, although on the site the author is listed as "Who da'Punk". The nominal goal of the site is to shrink Microsoft down to a smaller, more efficient company, but Mini-Microsoft has become a place where Microsoft employees and others engage in an open discussion about all aspects of the company and what it is like to work there. The site is credited with providing some of the impetus for internal changes at the company in 2006, specifically concerning how employee reviews are done.[citation needed]
Mini-Microsoft began on July 6, 2004 with a post entitled "Blast off for Mini-Microsoft". Throughout 2005 the site began to gather attention, culminating in an interview by Jay Greene in the September 26, 2005 issue of Business Week, part of a cover package about trouble at Microsoft. In November 2005, Mini-Microsoft turned on comment moderation as a way to increase the quality of the comment section, which he frequently highlights as an integral part of the site. This followed several experiments such as allowing comments for registered users only, and turning off comments completely.[citation needed]
After a May 27, 2006 article by Danny Westneat in The Seattle Times, in which Mini-Microsoft admitted that his secret identity was wearing on him, he announced on his blog that he was taking a break from posting. After a short delay and an outcry from his readers he began posting again, initially with articles containing mostly links, but in the late summer of 2006 he returned to his previous posting style.[citation needed]
Effect on Microsoft
One of Mini-Microsoft's favorite targets in his early posts was the Microsoft review system, which required that employee ratings be fit to a curve, in a standard Rank and Yank method. For the summer 2006 review process, the system was changed so that evaluation of an employee's past performance was no longer curved. Mini-Microsoft is widely credited with inspiring this change, although company officials have made no statements to that effect. According to further posts and comments on the blog, the company does still enforce a curve when evaluating an employee's future potential. This has led to frequent discussions of "Kim", a name Mini-Microsoft coined to refer to productive senior employees who were labeled by the revised review system as having "Limited" future potential.[citation needed] Part of the original criticism Mini-Microsoft had for the review curve was that it forced managers to damage the morale of productive employees because even on highly successful teams, a fixed percentage of employees would be given a low score. The same morale problems apparently still occur with the Limited label, (which in 2007 was changed to the less-offensive sounding "10%" – representing the percentage of employees that must be assigned the score).
Mini-Microsoft has also been responsible for bringing some transparency to the compensation structure at Microsoft.[citation needed] Employees have anonymously posted their own salary, bonus, and stock grant information, as well as provided information on the compensation of others (particularly executives). Although any individual anonymous information is of dubious veracity, the aggregation of them provides insight into the overall compensation system.
Mini-Microsoft has not made his identity public. There are three known instances where he has revealed himself:
- In an in-person interview with Jay Greene of Business Week
- A phone interview with Danny Westneat of the Seattle Times
- And this interview on the Microsoft Jobs blog.
Although he posts vague details about his job, he has also stated that he deliberately posts misinformation to mislead searchers.[citation needed] For a brief time after his June 2006 "retirement" he seemed eager to be discovered, but that has since faded.[citation needed]
From his two known interviews, it is known that:
- Mini-Microsoft is male (reported in both interviews).
- He is married (reported in both interviews and occasionally referred to on the site).
- At least one co-worker has figured out his identity (reported by Danny Westneat).

Finally, I have fulfilled an aching part of me that wanted to go to a theme park…
… and the location couldn't have been better. I bow down and kiss the feet of the Disney marketing guru who decided that Florida residents could spend four days in the four Florida Disney parks for less than $100. In addition I lick the toes of upcoming Harry Potter world at Universal Studios which is making all other theme parks offer drastically reduced tickets. Competition makes for a happy Pyra. For three days, the Pyra family wandered around the Disney resort (and surrounding attractions). Although my heart has been yearning for a theme park visit, it was hurting more to spend time with my family. I killed two aches with one big Mickey Tylenol.
Unfortunately, those of you looking to get a travel agent disaster's in-and-out of Disney's Hollywood Studios (formerly known as MGM) will not get it from me. Rather, this article is to get your own lazy butt to explore the theme park by looking through my attached photo album. I will say that although the Pyra family nearly drowned in the continuous rain hovering over the Kissimmee skies, (and crowds were therefore really light) we still only experienced 2/3rds of the park during our six hour visit– and yes, every attraction was available. Perhaps we are just the slowest family in tourism history. The Pyra family read every notecard, every poster, ran back and forth between shows– and therefore didn't experience everything.
Hollywood Studios is a Disney mecca for shows and stages. You can watch a Jedi class, a live Little Mermaid production, a stunt show, a Beauty and the Beast musical, etc etc. And rides? Not as plentiful as Walt Disney World… but there are a few present. It's my Pyra opinion that most of the attractions (shows included) are geared to entertain humans who are school-aged and older. What's the point of bringing in a toddler to Disney anyway? I guess just for cutesy pictures with Mickey Mouse, right? However, expect a future article about two of the best theme park experiences I have ever had– right in Hollywood Studios.

Windtunnel engineers' Olympic effort
The team has helped Olympic athletes like cyclist Chris Hoy and skeleton bobsleigh champion Amy Williams.
Now they've been recognised for the work they've done over the last 40 years in the field of sports performance - the science behind sporting success - with a Queen's Anniversary Prize for Sports Technology.
Using the latest technology, they helped the Olympic athletes test their equipment and then work out ways to make them more aerodynamic, to help shave milli-seconds off their race times.
The Queen's Anniversary Prize, the most prestigious award universities can be given, recognises the world-leading work they do. The latest experiments are testing swimmers to find way to make their bodies more stream-lined and reduce drag through the water.
Angus Webb from the University of Southampton explains why they carry out the research.

Box No.1: Lady shoes.
Box No.2: There is a place in life for experiment and a place for conservatism, and when it comes to crockery I let conservatism guide me. Squareness, ovalness, multicolouredness – these are all plate-diminishing qualities. The perfect plate is three things; large, round and white. This isn't a trivial matter – a plate is the frame for one's food. If I had my way there wouldn't be a plate at Casa Alotofwind that wasn't large, round and white. And so it is that I find myself unpacking our dark blue plates. The ones with the gold trim. Well, at least they're round.
Box No.3: Lady shoes.
Box No.4: Lady clothes.
Box No.5 gives me cause to question K's commitment to this whole Tarifa thing. It's full of bric-a-brac, ornaments, glassware and porcelain. Our items of sentiment in other words. Each one has been wrapped individually in bubble wrap so thoroughly, and so thoroughly secured with selotape, it's as if her primary objective was to prevent their unpacking. It took me two hours to lug forty of these little monsters up four flights of stairs, but I spend the best part of an hour unpacking just one of them.
Box No.6: Books
Box No.7: Lady shoes.
Box No.8: More books. Books unpack beautifully. Open box, extend hand, grab five or six of them and shove on a shelf. Beautiful. But we need more shelves.
Box No.9: Camping equipment. Like I need to deal with that right now. Left in box, placed in corner and covered with a white sheet. Topped with an oriental lamp. Occasional table!!
Box No.10: Lady clothes.
Box No.11: Have you ever beheaded a cat? I have, just this afternoon. A kitten in fact, and it was a nice clean cut. I didn't find it as upsetting as I would have thought and besides, some superglue put everything right. It was one of three porcelain cats – the baby one – and was not my only victim. There was also the elephant whose leg I amputated, the fluffy white rabbit I suffocated and crushed in a vacuum bag, and the cute little hippo that suffered the same terrible fate. It's a brutal business, moving, and despite our regular promises to each other to down-size or de-clutter we continue to accumulate possessions, many of them in the form of faux livestock. It isn't difficult to imagine our next move involving the disembowelment of a pony or perhaps the wholesale slaughter of a flock of birds…
Box No.12: Assorted lady items.
Box No.13: Tupperware. Wait a minute – tupperware is packing isn't it? Containers within containers…this is like the Mandelbrot set, but heavier.
Box No.14: Pots and pans, cutlery. There is something about putting an old pan in a new cupboard that connects the dots for me, a finalising of the transition from apartment to home; a momentarily jarring sense of continuity. Knives as well that have cut my meat elsewhere feel like friends here.
But I have to wash them all first – they have a acquired a fine film of mould while in their boxes and one or two of the pots, pristine when packed, have developed little rust spots that need to be scrubbed away and which will no doubt reappear persistently.
A thing removed from its environment, and more importantly from the tethering cycles which have marked time for it – for example the twenty-four hour cycle of use, wash, store, use, wash, store – is exposed to a whole new set of hazards, to forces hitherto unknown. I have rescued the pots and pans but they were already under attack and deteriorating.
I hope for K, myself and the lagomorph that the same does not apply to us as we unpack ourselves in Tarifa, or if it does at least that something or someone can give us a good wipe to get the mould off.
Box No.15: Lady shoes.

Emerging Respiratory Viruses in Children.
Schuster JE1, Williams JV2.
Author information
Respiratory viral infections are a leading cause of pediatric disease. Emerging respiratory viruses can cause outbreaks with significant morbidity and mortality or circulate routinely. The rapid identification of pathogens, epidemiologic tracing, description of symptoms, and development of preventative and therapeutic measures are crucial to limiting the spread of these viruses. Some emerging viruses, such as rhinovirus C and influenza C, circulate yearly but were previously undetected due to limited diagnostic methods. Although some pathogens have a geographic focus, globalization dictates that providers be aware of all emerging diseases in order to recognize outbreaks and diagnose and treat patients.

LA Duo DWNTWN, consisting of Jamie Leffler and Robert Cepeda, has been pumping out consistent and original electro-pop tunes online for just about a year now. If you scan through their YouTube account you'll see remixes of some of the biggest tunes in the last year. While remixes are fun, they aren't nearly as exciting as a good cover. It seems like this duo may have figured that out just in time to deliver the perfect synth pop cover of Angus & Julia Stone's huge hit "Big Jet Plane." Continue reading »

More Homeless Students Than Ever In Michigan | Grand Rapids , Michigan | WZZM 13 ABC News
The State Coordinator for Homeless Education Programs expects the numbers statewide to increase another 30 percent when 2011-2012 data comes out, and the numbers locally are likely to be part of the reason.
The Kent Intermediate School District tracks numbers for schools in the entire county and says numbers continue to rise.
It's a story you'll only see on WZZM 13 News.
WZZM 13 News stumbled across this issue after a co-worker saw a school bus pull up to a motel near the station and drop off some students. After numerous calls to school districts, motels, area shelters and homeless assistance programs, we found that schools have seen an increase in homeless children in the last three years due to a few factors.
But it's important to point out that the majority of these children aren't living under bridges in West Michigan; their families have been forced to move around and stay where they can. JoAnna McMurray lives in a motel with her husband and son, a first-grader.

Where'd they go? Something else that needs a bit more research.
Gas prices are now coming down and there is a lawsuit out there pending concerning collusion and possible price gouging. The problem isn't necessarily the fact that we are "addicted" to foreign oil, the problem is that we are living within a dangerous paradigm of control where those that control the flow of oil form an elite class at the top of the pyramid of all societies. That is, the part at the top right beneath the international banking cartels.
Yet, the spirit of innovation – even in today's drastically dumbed down America – lives on. There are those who are pushing for innovation and are looking for alternatives. These individuals need to be supported and celebrated – and protected. Surely, there are forces that wish to preserve the current system of things and will stop at nothing to do so. That brings us to our first story – Stan Meyer.
Watch this documentary on Stan Meyer's work.
Stan Meyer seems to be the main catalyst behind this.
Stan Meyer died suddenly in 1998 after sipping on a drink at a restaurant. Conspiracy theories abound and point to those interests who would benefit from his death and the suppression of his technological developments.
The fact is, Meyer was able to find an efficient way to harvest hydrogen from water. There are patents on his inventions, but since his death 10 years ago there seems to have been little movement in this regard. His brother continues his work but it isn't the same. You can download his notes via a .zip file here.
Then there is this – a couple of interesting break throughs from one man: John Kanzius.
