When people ask me what my favorite horror film is, I guess they would expect me to say “Halloween” or “The Exorcist.” And while I do love those movies and they, along with “Psycho” for instance, would be in my top-five of the genre, I say that my favorite in the genre is definitely “The Haunting.” And the trouble is, I always have to back up that title by labeling it “the Robert Wise haunted-house film from the 1960s” because I know that they’re thinking of the other “The Haunting” (the 1999 Jan De Bont remake of the 1963 film with Liam Neeson and Catherine Zeta-Jones). I’ll have something to say about the remake later and why it definitely doesn’t work in comparison to its predecessor, but I truly love the original film. In fact, I love it so much to admit that it’s just my favorite scary film—it’s one of my all-time favorite movies.
“The Haunting” is a superb, gorgeously-shot, very well thought-out chiller that uses psychological tension and character development in the same concepts of mystery and atmosphere. It takes place in a haunted house—Hill House, to be exact—and it’s about a group of characters who would like to investigate the supernatural occurrences of such a place but get much more than they expected. That premise sounds pretty simple, but Wise’s direction, along with great cinematography as well as great acting, makes it far more than what it could have been. Even if you don’t really find it very scary (it depends on whether or not you accept the “less is more” aspect—I’ll explain later in this review), it’s still a gripping psychological thriller, Gothic story, and character study.
“The Haunting” begins with an opening narration over a shot of an ominous-looking mansion in the night, and right away, the narration sets up the premise in a most interesting way. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a depiction of a haunted house, or rather just exploring a haunted house, has ever been put in a better way. “An evil old house, the kind some people call haunted, is like an undiscovered country waiting to be explored. Hill House has stood for 90 years and might stand for 90 more. Silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there…walked alone.” And when the intellectual voice of Richard Johnson puts it like that, I think I might follow him as well as those his character, Dr. John Markway, are brought into his experiment. And yes, his experiment is simply to investigate any sort of paranormal activity while spending several nights in Hill House. The house is full of history that connects to further evidence that it may be haunted, which fascinates him even more. He wants to know if everything he’s heard and studied is as real as it may seem.
Brought in on the project are Eleanor “Nell” Lance (Julie Harris), clairvoyant Theodora “Theo” (Claire Bloom), and the house’s cynical new heir, Luke Sanderson (Russ Tamblyn). Eleanor, in particular, is our main focus of the film, as we hear her inner thoughts a good amount of time and has the most compelling character arc of the group. She’s a meek, insecure, guilt-ridden woman who has spent most of her adult life caring for her sick mother until her death, leading to further severe guilt that she has to deal with everyday. She seeks to belong somewhere with somebody, which is why she does take a chance and leaves her sister’s apartment (where she sleeps on the couch), and steals her sister’s car to make her way to Hill House, where she is finally expected somewhere.
Hill House itself is a marvel to look at. It’s a large, maze-like mansion that looks like a Gothic castle, with many secrets and unsettling decorations and such. Among the most notable unsettling locations in the house is the library, which features a tall, spiraling staircase that is very rickety and unsafe. The exteriors and interiors of Hill House are just extraordinary and the whole place gives off a creepy vibe. You definitely can tell that something is not quite right with this place. Eleanor notices this upon first arriving, thinking to herself that “it’s looking at me” and if she goes into this house, she’s afraid she won’t come out the same way. But she does come inside, get to know Markway, Theo, and Luke, and surely enough, many strange things occur with apparent supernatural forces at work here.
But how much of the supernatural is actually “supernatural?” We spend so much time with Eleanor and we know that she isn’t quite mentally-stable because of her insecurities that sometimes take her over, so you have to wonder just how much of this ghost-story is actual ghosts and how much of it is actually in Eleanor’s mind. It’s evident that ghosts are real in these surroundings, as Eleanor is not the only one to experience these happenings. But what about when she explores the house herself and feels herself to be more at home, in a way depicted creepier than it sounds? Is she being controlled by the paranormal forces, is she letting in to her hopes of belonging somewhere, are her insecurities getting the very best of her? I won’t go into too much detail about what I get out of the connection between her and Hill House, but trust me when I say it’s an excellent psychological study. And that this is a character who seeks redemption and acceptance within a haunted house makes it even more unnerving.
It’s hard to pick my favorite “scary moment,” as most people choose their own favorite scary moments from their favorite horror films (the opening in “Halloween,” the exorcism in “The Exorcist,” the shower scene in “Psycho,” and so on). There are literally more than I could think of right off the bat, and oddly enough, every time I watch the movie again, I find myself unnerved throughout the whole movie because of those many moments. To name some of these scenes, I’d start with the introduction in which we see in flashback (with help of Dr. Markway’s narration) the past historic happenings of Hill House (suicide, accidents, etc.)—it’s a great opening and also very well-crafted in how it’s able to set up the environment and build up suspense for the rest of the story, and of course quite unnerving. There’s the first occurrence on the characters’ first night in Hill House, as Eleanor and Theo are frightened by loud, pounding noises coming from outside their bedroom and hold onto one another in fear—the terror is genuine and the scares come as unexpected so that the characters’ fear becomes ours, because we know just about as much as they do. Most memorably, arguably, is the scene in which Eleanor awakens at night to hear what sounds like a child being beaten and crying in pain. She wants to yell but is too afraid to, and she holds hands with Theo who is obviously as frightened as she is because, as we hear through Eleanor’s inner thoughts, she is holding on to her hand a little too tightly. When she finally yells “STOP IT!” and the lights turn on, she looks to see that…nobody was holding her hand the whole time. This is a perfect “scary moment”—the buildup, the tension, and the payoff are all very well-handled, making the standard-but-needed question “Whose hand was I holding” seem all the more impactful. There are many more moments like that in this movie. And do I even need to mention that the aforementioned “tall, spiraling staircase” comes into place for a crucial moment later?
The casting of the four principal roles is spot-on. Julie Harris is excellent as Eleanor, creating a believable portrait of an odd, meek woman who is possibly misguided to find a place to feel accepted. It’s a great performance and it makes “The Haunting” more of a character study than a haunted-house story. Richard Johnson is also great as Dr. Markway, a man who could convince you to jump off a cliff if he found a solid reasoning behind it. I love the way he puts the supernatural occurrences most of us have heard of, particularly the difference between “ghosts” and “ghouls.” Claire Bloom makes Theo her own character and also gives a certain indication that she might actually be a lesbian, which could explain why she acts the way she does toward Eleanor (compassion mixed with teasing most of the time) and also would give another disturbing sense in the scenes when they’re the only ones in a room together. Bloom makes risky decisions with this role, but they’re never over-the-top and are played effectively. I even enjoyed Russ Tamblyn’s comic relief—as Luke, Tamblyn plays a man who doesn’t believe in the supernatural or the phenomena; he’s just protecting his investment after being left the house and simply enjoys poking fun at whatever experience or little detail that the other characters bring up. He’s a smooth, wisecracking guy who likes to drink and crack jokes (“This ghost I can expect in my room tonight—is it male or female?”), which makes his ultimate belief in what’s really happening here all the more effective because all this time, he has served as a representation for some of the more cynical audience members. When he finally seems as scared as everyone else, it’s believable.
The filmmaking serves as another reason “The Haunting” works as well as it does. A good number of shots in this movie looks like it’s been fully prepared for first, so that we feel a hint of unease and also fascination. Even the reaction shots, which are mostly thankless, say something about the consistency—some of them are even at low angles with characters on either the right or left side of the screen. With a location as grand as Hill House, it’s important to know how to frame certain shots and Robert Wise obviously went out of his way to create something unique.
“The Haunting” is undoubtedly my favorite horror film. Its scares are more than effective because of how much its psychological terror works well. The themes are very well-presented. The depictions of the “haunted” aspects of this house and the occurrences are fascinating to listen to. The lead character of Eleanor is a great character for this sort of story. And it fascinates me and of course continues to scare me every time I watch it. It’s a well-crafted, excellent chiller.
NOTE: I mentioned the brilliant opening lines earlier in this review. I should also add that the similar-sounding ending lines are even more chilling, particularly because of who says them.

FAQS: How to find the bottom dead center of a kiln tyre?
Kiln Doctor answer: Is the kiln running or shut down? If shut down simply find the center of the tire axially with a tape measure and scribe a line for about 12' circumference. Then use a level up against the bottom of the tire. When level, mark the tangent point on the scribed line. This is BDC. Use a precision level for better accuracy. For still more accuracy use an optical autolevel. Fix the zero end of a machinist's scale or optical tooling scale to a magnet and place the magnet end on the tire. The scale needs to be pointing out radially from the tire. With someone looking at the scale through the autolevel run the magnet/scale along the scribed circumferential line through bottom dead center. The observer through the autolevel will identify BDC when the scale reading reaches a maximum. If the kiln is running: Place the autolevel near the centerline of the kiln and look downhill to the bottom edge of the tire. The autolevel will have to be fitted on a vertical rack to allow vertical adjustment. Run the autolevel up/down so that the horizontal line of the cross hair is tangent to the edge of the tire. By carefully sighting the crosshairs at the bottom tangent point the center of the tire can be optically identified. Swing the scope and center punch a column. That will give you at least the elevation of BDC, downhill edge. Spray the bottom of the stationary tire with light oil. The oild will slowly drip off at the center of the tire.

Did you know there are plants you can grow in your own back yard that can actually benefit your hair? In honor of National Garden Month, we are growing more than just hair here at HairMax! What better way to officially kick off spring than a little DIY gardening that won’t just make your yard come to life, but also help your hair com back to life. From superfoods to herb and vegetables, here are 7 of the best foods to grow at home for better potential hair health.
Who knew that some of the best and healthy solutions for hair loss may be found in your backyard! Herbs and plants have been used to help promote hair growth for years, because they are said to help your scalp in so many different ways. Some say you can use them topically and others can be eaten or made into tea, for example, here are some recent posts about the benefits of 5 Essential Oils That Promote Hair Growth and the 5 Foods to Boost Hair Growth.
Let’s take a look at some of the best plants and herbs you can easily, and inexpensively, grow yourself!
In last week’s post about using rosemary essential oil, we learned that there’s increasing scientific evidence that rosemary oil can help boost hair growth. Along with being a powerful stimulant to increase blood circulation to the hair follicles, this oil can help fight your dry and flaky scalp due to the antibacterial and antifungal properties.
Hair health aside, many people use rosemary as a natural remedy for relieving pain or skin irritation and soothing indigestion. The soothing aroma of rosemary is frequently used to help relieve everyday stress, which is also a common cause of hair fall, especially in women. It is also said that the aroma of this herb is a natural deterrent for garden pests, like mosquitoes!
While you can grow your own rosemary from a seed indoors and transferring it outside in the spring, it is much easier to grow it from clippings.
Keep soil uniformly moist, allowing it to dry out between watering and be sure to have good drainage to prevent mildew/root rot.
Cut stems for fresh rosemary, or use a rack/hang upside down in bunches to dry. Once dry, strip leaves from the stems.
Chia seeds have been popping up everywhere lately, from beauty products to restaurant menus, and for good reason. They are perfect to sprinkle on top of salads, add to smoothies or water, but if you’ve bought them before, you’ll understand why growing it yourself makes total sense as a small bag can cost you up to $10!
In a recent post about this powerful little seed we discussed the many benefits of chia seeds, like how they have 10 grams of fiber in a 2 tablespoon serving, they are jam packed with antioxidants that help protect the body from free radicals, aging and cancer. 60% of chia seeds are composed of omega-3s that can help improve the integrity of keratin and elastin in your body so your hair is able to be thicker and more voluminous.
Considering the size of a mature chia plant takes up a good amount of space and grows taller than most herbs, having a backyard is suggested. So, if you are planning on growing chia in a pot, you will need one on the larger side and any specialist at your home improvement store can help advise you on what supplies you’ll need.
Sprinkle a few seeds over the soil and rub gently to cover them.
Harvest as soon as most of the petals have fallen off the flower.
The fastest and easiest way to extract the seeds is to rub dried flower heads with a flat hand and then isolate seeds using a strainer.
Green tea (Camellia Sinensis) is one of the most common Chinese herbal remedies for everything from weight loss to hair loss! How can it help your hair? Well, green tea can improve blood circulation to your scalp giving hair follicles more nutrients and is also a DHT blocker, the compound that causes hair loss.
You can grow from seed or clippings, or you can buy a plant from a nursery.
When starting from seeds, it can take years to make into tea, as it takes at least 3 years to grow a plant with enough leaves for a harvest. Take care of it and you’ll have tea for the next 50 years!
Cover the seeds lightly with soil and keep the soil damp and warm.
When new shoots appear in spring, it’s called a flush.
Steam them on stove top for a minute or two or roast in skillet.
Along with chia seeds, Kale has become one of the more popular greens, popping up on menus, beauty products, and even pet foods! It should be no surprise when you look at why kale is such a powerhouse plant. Having only 33 calories and around 3g of protein per raw cup, kale is also rated as one of the best veggies for absorbing free radicals in the body.
It is also packed with vitamins A, C, K, B and omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for hair health and growth. While kale can have a bitter, ridged, rough texture, if a younger plant is harvested, commonly known as baby kale, the leaf will be closer to spinach and a little sweeter. You can also marinate it in some lemon juice and dash of olive oil to break the leaves down for salads or raw consumption.
Early spring to early summer for best plant time.
Plant seeds ¼ to ½ inch deep into light soil that is well-drained.
After about 14 days, move seedlings to 8 – 12 inches apart.
Water regularly, but careful not to overwater.
When leaves are the size of your hand, pick a fist full, but not the bud (in the top center of the plant) to keep producing.
When I think of basil, I think of caprese salads, margharita pizzas, and pesto sauce! However, basil leaves have been historically used in medicine, as well as diet, in many cultures. The plant has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and anti-fungal properties. When broken down into an essential oil, it is said to potentially have stimulant properties that, when applied topically, can increase blood flow to the scalp in turn should help hair growth.
Basil grows easily from clippings, but can be grown by seeds indoors as well.
Keep soil moist. In hotter weather water freely.
FIY basil blossoms, if left on, have a great smell and said to attract pollinators to your garden!
Beets have been a popular salad topping or side dish for many years, and for good reason! Commonly known as “nature’s multivitamin”, beets can help your body fight off the common cold or some even say help against cancer!
Not only are the roots beneficial, but the leaves are just as edible and healthy. It has been said that beetroot can help complete your nutritional deficiency, help prevent scalp inflammation and might even help reduce you stress level.
Plant beet seeds ½ to 1 inch deep.
Keep soil moist until sprouts emerge.
Gently space seedlings 3 – 4 inches and water well.
Also known as “vegetable confetti”, they are one of the easiest greens to grow, especially for kitchen herb gardens or window boxes. Scientists say they have a greater concentration of vitamins and minerals versus fully grown greens.
If you look for them at the store, you will see how cost-efficient it is to grow yourself. There are over 40 different types of microgreens you can plant, like arugula, chard, sorrel, and Russian kale.
In one study, the younger greens had four to six times more beneficial nutrients. There are several different microgreens to choose from, including Microgreens Milk Mix seeds, which are ready to harvest within five to ten days.
Read seed packet for special requirements.
Sprinkle seeds over soil and cover with a very thin layer of soil.
Dampen surface with water spray bottle, or cover container with lid/clear plastic wrap until seeds sprout.
Mist with water once or twice a day to keep soil moist not wet.
Discard covering once sprouted and continue to mist daily.
When leaves arrive, snip above soil line and store in refrigerator.
Results differ for everyone so it’s important to try different approaches… even if these foods don’t really effect your hair health, your body will definitely thank you for all of the healthy nutrients and vitamins! Comment on which ones you try and if you see any difference!
Using products with essential oils, such as the HairMax for density products, will help fortify and revitalize hair. Infused with a synergistic blend of DHT blockers, anti-oxidants and therapeutic botanicals to restore balance, optimize scalp health and enhance the vitality, thickness and volume of your hair.

St. John's Church, Lafayette Square, Washington, D.C.
This isn’t just parsing words or deciding how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. Athanasius was responsible for clarifying the basic Christian understanding that Jesus is both fully God and fully human. How we understand who Jesus is has everything to do with how we understand our lives and vocation as Christians. One of Athanasius’ best-known lines is, “God became human in order that we might become divine.” God’s entry into human flesh showed us what it means to be fully human, in the largest sense of that and invites us to share that vocation and possibility. If Jesus were not fully God and fully human, it would deny any possibility that beings who inhabit flesh and blood human bodies could have a real relationship with God whom we call the Holy One.
That is the same sort of thing Ezekiel is talking about in eating the scroll – when he says, ‘eat the word of God, and become what you eat, and then go tell Israel. Go show and tell your neighbors what it is to be made in the image of God.’ That’s what we do here as well – come and eat at this table, and become what you eat, and then share yourself, your Word of God-self and flesh of God-self with a very hungry world.
Yet it is not only God in human flesh who images the Holy One. All parts of God’s creation must reflect their maker in some way. The riotous diversity of the flowers of the field, the creatures of the sea – even Leviathan, whom God has made “for the sport of it” according to the psalmist – and the sparrows that Jesus invokes in the gospel today – their creator cares for them and intends that each one flourish.
That is part of the challenging message of today’s gospel: you will be hated because of what you teach – watch out if you advocate for justice for all the world’s people and the other parts of creation! But don’t be afraid to speak up and tell out what you know, for your soul will find life in doing that. Even in the face of danger, know that God cares for each one of us in ways beyond our knowing, even more than the evidence we see in the birds of the air and the flowers of the field.
Athanasius had a predecessor in the faith named Irenaeus who famously remarked that the glory of God is a human being fully alive. That’s what Athanasius also meant in saying that our vocation was becoming divine. Fully alive human beings know themselves made in the image of God, created as brother to the sun and sister to the moon, friend to the deer, and ant, and sparrow, as well as the enfolding blanket of atmosphere and ocean. We are one family, related through the one who created us to reflect the divine glory in fully-aliveness. There is no room in that for misusing our brothers and sisters, human or otherwise. There is abundant hope for all, given the image we reflect, and the ever-creative One in whom we live and move and have our being.
Athanasius stood firm in the face of those who would deny God’s presence in human flesh. We must do the same in the face of those who would destroy God’s reflection in creation.

Entergy Corporation engaged Marathon Consulting Group (MCG) to lead a project to prepare the station for a successful NRC 95003 inspection. Over the course of 2013 to 2015, Pilgrim suffered a series of equipment failures resulting in multiple notices of violations. Pilgrim also failed several inspections for individual issues in that time span. It was very important to accurately estimate the cost of the project, as that estimate was integral to the decision of continuing to operate or cease station operations.
MCG led the senior Entergy and station management teams to lay out a complete but frugal project plan.
MCG developed an innovative tool for performing Comparative Analysis to previous column 4 recoveries.
MCG used lessons learned to streamline the entire process.
MCG developed a significant event and regulatory timeline/storyline earlier in the process, to better illustrate performance and align the plant staff and team.
MCG built the Project Plan, Work Breakdown Structure, Schedule backbone, and financial tracking tools.
MCG built and issued the weekly project progress report and recovery performance indicators.
MCG briefed the staff on the 95003 inspection module and the Marathon/Entergy procedures used to implement the process.
MCG led each of the phases of the project.
MCG guided the station through the inspection phase.
MCG staffed the critical recovery positions post inspection for subject matter experts and mentors supporting performance improvement and behavior change.
The Pilgrim overall recovery was conducted for half the cost of the previous recovery (less that $50 million).
The assessment and cause analysis phases were accomplished within 0.5% of the original estimates.
Although the 95003 inspection was slightly abbreviated, the reduction in cost using the comparative analysis technique significantly reduced assessment efforts (5,000-7,000 assessment hours saved) and ensured a thorough review of overall station performance.
Pilgrim is well on track to exit Column 4 at the end of 2018, as expected.
The results of mentoring and use of subject matter experts resulted in significant improvements in both technical performance but more importantly the improvement in behaviors supporting a strong nuclear safety culture. These changes have been recognized by corporate oversight, the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) and the regulator.
During the recovery Pilgrim moved from INPO 3 to INPO 2 and was removed from increased INPO oversight (Policy Note 14).

We would never have gone for a dinner like this, if not for the fact that the dinner was on the house. The average meal here is close to 30 euros, my average meal doesn’t top 10 euros. Take a look at the places I typically dine and feature and you’ll know that this place is atypical for my dining and spending habits. But we got a free meal because there was some big problem with our room where we put up when the family visited and we were offered a free all-expenses paid dinner at the Björk Bar & Grill at the Courtyard Marriott in Kungsholmen.
According to what we found out later on, this restaurant is rated rather highly by diners for service and food. This is a restuarnt that serves Swedish cuisine, a cuisine that is undergoing its own renaissance.
The food here is modern Swedish food and the design of the restaurant was designed with birch trees, berries and Swedish copper as an inspiration. Frankly, it’s not hard to see why.
The food here is not as traditional as Restaurang Pelikan but a more modern take on modern Swedish cuisine. Most of these dishes were new to me, I’ve never tried them before and have mostly heard of them.
Our meal began with an cup of soup and a serving of breads and home churned butter.
I don’t think I’ve actually tried soup served in a cup before, or frankly as a appetizer in this manner. A small cup is less fillings and goes no where in filling you up or satiating your appetite but obviously whets your palate for more food, which I guess is the intention.
For starters were shared two dishes, a beef tartare and a toast skagen. Toast Skagen is a combination of shrimps and roe served on atop of a sauteed bread and flavoured with dill. It was created by the chef-restaurateur Tore Wretman and is typically served at dinner parties as an appetizer (I reckon, as an hor d’oeuvre). It was Wretman who elevated this home-cooking dishing to restaurant levels. It was rich, creamy, shrimpy and the whitefish roe provided that added texture to the dish. The lemon served on this dish really helped to cut the heaviness of the dish. I would have liked this served as hor d’oeuvres rather than as a huge piece of bread though.
Steak Tartare is made from finely chopped beef and served with onions, capers and other seasonings as well as a rich and creamy egg yolk to be broken and mixed into the dish. This was a Swedish take on steak tartare because of the mustard, capers and beets.
It had yolk and raw meat, almost like a beef sashimi of sorts. I reckon that the good quality fillet that was used did not have too much fats which would have made the beef hard to eat. Raw beef, without the sear that the fats give does not have the rich fatty fragrance that you would expect of steak. There was a mixture of textures from the soft chewiness of the steak to the runny consistency of the yolk and the crunchy cut of beetroot. Unlike sashimi though, the way that steak tartare is served means that the strong flavours of the other items like mustard, egg yolk, capers and onions can sometimes overpower the dish. In my view this steak was just nice, it was not too beefy and strong but also was not completely overpowered by the strong flavours of the accompaniments to the dish.
a grilled entrecote (prime cut of beef).
These were all wonderful dishes. The celeriac was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside and despite its large appearance filled you without stuffing you. The stew was very rich because both cod and salmon are local fishes rich in fat – cod and salmon and their fats provide a rich source of Vitamin D which is something extremely vital in sun-poor Scandanavia. Eating locally and seasonally tends to provide us with important nutrients that our body needs for the climate we live in, another reason to eat locally and seasonally. And the entrecote was a little over cooked but the beef was high quality so we were happy.
We ended the meal with a home-made sorbet, something really sour that would balance out all the richness because honestly – this was a rich meal, something that would give you “rich man’s disease” if you eat it too often .
But once in a while is fine. Everything in Lagom as they say in Sweden.
And by any standard, that was an awesome meal!

Directory Services: What is a Responsibility Center Account Administrator?
University academic and administrative units are grouped into Responsibility Centers (RCs). In order to limit the number of individuals with privileges to create and manage sponsored accounts, each RC has designated Responsibility Center Account Administrators (RC Administrators) to manage computing resources. RC Administrators assist faculty and staff with their primary accounts. They are responsible for distributing initial passwords to new University employees. They can also create sponsored accounts for approved purposes. A current list of RC Administrators is available at the bottom of this page.
It is important for RC Administrators to fulfill their responsibilities and adhere to the guidelines below. Properly managing University resources ensures that unnecessary and unused accounts are removed. This reduces the risk that these accounts could be compromised, which could adversely affect the University's reputation or lead to financial damage.
It is the responsibility of the RC Administrator to ensure all data they are providing is accurate, services are being managed conscientiously, and resources are allocated and used for their intended purpose.
When a primary account is created for a new faculty or staff member, an initial password is set for the account. The initial password is available to the RC Administrator in the RC Administrators SharePoint site. The RC Administrator should communicate this initial password to the individual directly or to the individual's supervisor or area manager.
The faculty or staff member who receives the initial password should be instructed to log in to accounts.pitt.edu. The user will be prompted to set security questions and set a new password that only he or she knows. It is essential that the individual understand the importance of setting a secure password and not sharing it with anyone.
In additional to account management, the RC Administrator also maintains groups and group membership within CDS. These groups can be used for Enterprise Exchange distribution lists or to assign access rights to various resources within the University computing environment.
RC Administrators can also delegate group management to other individuals within their responsibility center. Individuals can be granted access to manage a single group, a collection of groups that share the same prefix, or all of the groups within a Responsibility Center.
The head of the responsibility center or a current RC Administrator can request that a RC Administrator be added or removed. To request a change, complete and submit an Account Administrator Change Request Form. This form can also be used to designate individuals who will manage RC groups.
No more than two RC Administrators can be designated for a given responsibility center without additional justification. If more than two RC Administrators are needed, a written request explaining the need must be submitted to the CIO's Office (728 CL). This request can only be made by the head of the responsibility center. Once the request is reviewed and approved, an Account Administrator Change Request Form will need to be submitted for the additional RC Administrator.
Responsibility Center Account Administrators have access to the ‘RC Administrators' SharePoint site to assist with their duties.
Note: The RC Administrators site uses multifactor authentication (Duo), part of the Pitt Passport single sign-on service.

In a food processor fitted with the “S” blade, process the nuts until they are flour like consistency. Do not over process or you will have nut butter.
Add cacao powder and process again briefly. Add dates, a few at a time, until the mixture clumps together.
Stop the machine and if you can easily roll a ball from the mixture and it sticks together you don’t need to add anymore dates. Then add vanilla and process one more time, briefly.
Press the crust into a pie plate, torte pan or Springform Pan. It’s great just topped with cut up fresh fruits of any kind. You can even roll the mixture into balls and you have healthy cookies. Play around with adding different spices (like cinnamon or nutmeg), different extracts (like vanilla or almond) and the zest and juice of lemons, limes or oranges.

The Impact Loans England programme is now available to organisations across England with the £5 million to lend over the next three years. The funding is available to organisations keen to do more of the good work they do - whether it's buying equipment, hiring new talent, or progressing with business development plans.
Daniel Wilson-Dodd, Head of Lending at Big Issue Invest says, "A lot of great organisations struggle to access small and medium-sized loans, so we wanted to provide support for those exciting social enterprises and charities."
One of the first organisations to take advantage of the new finance scheme is MTCIC, a community Interest company, that provide counselling and mental health therapies to the population of East Anglia. It also provides training learning and development opportunities for individuals wanting employment within the field of wellbeing and mental health.

This offers MTCIC the security to build for the future." says Sue Jay MBE, Managing Director at MTCIC.
The Impact Loans England programme is a continuation of what Big Issue Invest has been doing over the past few years in other schemes aimed at helping social enterprises grow, often by accessing finance for the very first time.
Big Issue Invest anticipates the popularity of this programme and is planning to deliver a deal a week for the first six months after launch. Applications for Impact Loans England are now open. Visit bigissueinvest.com or email impactloansengland@bigissueinvest.com. A Twitter Q&A with @BigIssueInvest will be held in February, using the tag #ADealAWeek.

So now we see Muller is trying to involve Julian Assange and Wikileaks into the Russian collusion story. This is desperation on stilts.
Is revealing in their own words how corrupt the Democrats are… (and then letting the voters decide how to respond to that information)… collusion with a foreign power, or is it what the supposed mainstream media would be doing, if they were chasing Republicans?
Face it guys, those e-mails got out because of the absolutely horrendous (to the point of being non-existent) security on DNC servers.
Rather like the security that the Chinese we’re able to bypass on the computer systems of other democrats for example Dianne Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi and so on.
And then of course there’s the non-existent security on the bathroom server of Hillary Clinton which the Chinese also had Direct access to, as did the Russians and everybody else on the planet, it would seem.
But we’re spending our time chasing Julian Assange. Why? Because Democrats got hurt by their own stupidity and somebody has to pay.
But when the country gets hurt by the Democrats lack of security and the Democrats are still in power, it all magically goes away.

Even thought it’s currently coming down in buckets outside it’s still summer and that means it’s officially grill season. The smell of barbeque seems to be drifting from every corner so we joined the masses and fired up our grill for some tasty treats. I adore outdoor cooking and keep my grill handy all year round for a quick fix. I was hankering for some old fashion comfort food so decided on BBQ ribs with homemade BBQ sauce, sweet potato fries sprinkled with basil salt served with garlic lemon mayo (I could eat these all by themselves for a meal!), and grilled corn on the cob. A quite simple yet satisfying meal.
If you don’t have a BBQ (that’s a tragedy that you must remedy immediately) I’ve included instructions for oven grilling the ribs.
I promised the lovely Diana I would post these recipes…So cheers to you missy! Enjoy.
No, not cheese silly....Fresh grated horseradish.
In a large pot, combine all the rib ingredients and enough water to cover by 1-inch (about 12 cups) and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to a slow boil, cover the pot, and cook for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until ribs are very tender when pierced with a fork.
While the ribs are cooking, prepare the BBQ sauce. In a medium, non-reactive saucepan, over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the onions, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin and cayenne pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the ketchup, horseradish, cider vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce and stir to mix well. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until thickened and the flavors have married, about 20 minutes. Set aside.
GRILL: Preheat grill to around 400. Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil. Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the ribs to one of the prepared pans. Blot any excess liquid with paper towels, and discard the vegetables and cooking liquid. Generously coat the ribs with the BBQ sauce. Grill the ribs turning and brushing with the sauce until cooked through and marked nicely.
OVEN ONLY: Preheat the oven to broil. Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil. Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the ribs to one of the prepared pans. Blot any excess liquid with paper towels, and discard the vegetables and cooking liquid. Spread half of the BBQ sauce over the 2nd lined pan. Lay the ribs flat over the sauce, and spoon the remaining sauce over the ribs to coat generously. Broil until the sauce is caramelized, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
Prepare your grill, gas or charcoal, with direct, high heat, about 550°F.
Remove the visible silks from the tips of the corn and any long pieces inside. DO NOT remove the husks!
Submerge the corn in their husks in cold water for approximately 15 to 20 minutes prior to cooking.
Place the corn in their husks on the hot grill. Cover. Turn the corn occasionally, until the husks are charred on all sides, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove corn from grill. Let sit for 5 minutes. Use a hand towel to protect your hands while removing the silks and charred husks from the corn.
Serve hot, with butter and salt. Or better yet, herb butter. YUM.
What are your favorite flavors of summer? Got any great BBQ recipes or secret tips? Please share!
I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Janet for over twenty years. She has an amazing smile that sparkles from across the room, finds humor in even the small things, competes in triathlons AND in addition to be an incredible mom to the sweetest niece and nephew an aunt could want, coach & mentor of young girls, den mother, PTA leader, (uh, yeah, I could keep going on here!) is ALSO a personal chef. So, I must say, I feel fortunate this talented lady is my sister-in-law. After our wedding in Spain last month, my brother and his family joined us in Sweden for a week of sight-seeing, golfing, and lounging out on the lake. Sadly, the latter two didn’t really make it on the agenda….but next time Joe, I promise!
One night hanging out in the Swedish midnight sun (Yes, it’s true. The sun sets at midnight in the height of the summer) Janet made us the most scrumptious salmon cakes. Her clients, including her own family, rave about these fish patties and I can see why. Simple, easy to prepare, and just plain delicious. You’ll love them.
1. In covered pan, poach salmon in wine and enough water to just come to the top of fish. Quarter a lemon lengthwise and add 1/4 piece to pan along with a few sprigs of dill and chives. Cover and simmer until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool.
2. In medium bowl, flake the cooked salmon with a fork. Add about 1 cup cracker meal and work through with hands. Add the eggs, Old Bay, bell pepper, chives, dill, cayenne pepper sauce, and the zest and juice of 1 of the lemon and continue to blend well. If the mixture is wet, add more cracker meal. Let stand 5 minutes while pan is heating. Form into 4 patties about 1 inch thick.
3. Heat heavy skillet with just enough oil to coat the bottom.
4. Cook until golden brown, about 3 – 4 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towel-lined plate.
5. Combine mayo, and relish and chili sauce to taste in a small dish.
6. Toss salad greens with course salt and the juice of the remaining lemon. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.
7. To serve, place salmon cake on a bed of baby greens, and top with chili mayo.
The exact recipe is a secret, but this is a close approximation.
Combine all ingredients and mix thoroughly. Store in an airtight container in a cool place. Makes about 1/4 cup.
Not something I would normally ever in a million years come in contact with back home in my Whole Foods Market, so you can imagine I was a bit jolted when I rounded the corner in the grocery store and laid my big brown eyes on this guy. He was marketing, Polar Bread or Polarbröd as it’s known in Swedish.
Polar Bread originates far north in Sweden – where reindeer are also born and raised. It is a soft flat bread with dimples, sometimes square but usually round, excellent for sandwiches. Extra tasty with a fresh slice of juicy reindeer….Oh, come on! Ease up. I would never consider munching on Santa’s helpers! At least not Rudolph anyway. But apparently, for fifteen pounds, you can get darn close to the red nose leader.
You know it’s not going to be fat free if it’s got Paula Deen’s name on it. Just make sure you share this treat so it doesn’t all end up on your backside. Wonderfully dense and super moist, this cake’s richness is perfectly balanced when topped with fresh strawberries and a teeny dollop of vanilla cream. I still have a couple slices left, but you’ll need to hurry.
Generously grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan. Do not preheat the oven.
Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Alternately add flour mixture and heavy cream to butter-sugar mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Stir in flavoring.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Put into a cold oven and set the temperature to 325 degrees F. Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes without opening the oven door. Bake for an additional 15 minutes if necessary. Remove from the oven and cool in pan for 15 minutes. Invert cake onto cake plate. For a real treat, serve yourself a slice while it’s still warm.
Yeah, ok. So it seems (hearing the rumblings coming from the mouths of my close friends at least) the majority of my posts are centering around food in some form or fashion. But I can’t seem to help it. Every recipe I’ve tried lately has been a hit and I feel obliged to share.
This baked fish & saffron concoction I whipped up last week is no exception. It was absolutely D-I-V-I-N-E. Yes, I do agree, this dish has a helluva long title and it does take a little prep work, but I promise it’s totally worth it.
I’m making it Saturday night for 26 peeps….Wish me luck!

In a saucepan heat olive oil and saute onions until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook another 1 to 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, tomato paste and olives and cook until sauce is thick and most liquid has evaporated. Season with herbs and salt and pepper to taste, adding sugar if necessary to correct acidity. Serve warm on top of baked halibut in a saffron broth with mashed potatoes.
In a large saucepan combine chicken stock and saffron and bring to a boil. Add salt to taste, add potatoes and cook, covered, until fork-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Strain liquid into another large saucepan and reserve. Add butter to potatoes and stir and mash until completely melted. Add milk, stir well, and add salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm while making the halibut. In a saucepan saute shallots and garlic in olive oil until wilted, about 3 minutes. Add reserved saffron stock and simmer for 10 minutes. Add green onions and simmer 5 minutes. Keep warm until ready to serve.
Season halibut fillets with Creole seasoning on both sides. Rub fillets with olive oil and place on a lightly oiled shallow casserole or baking sheet with sides and pour saffron broth around fillets. Cover filets loosely with parchment paper or aluminum foil and bake for 5 minutes, uncover and bake another 5 minutes, or until flesh flakes easily. Serve fillets in a large bowl on top of mashed potatoes, with saffron broth ladled over all and fish topped with a generous dollop of tomoato and black olive ragout.
Don’t have one of these useful kitchen gadgets yet? Do yourself a favor and pick one up. I grabbed a Microplane grater/zester from Crate & Barrel a fews years ago and honestly use it just about every day. My old graters hit the bin the moment I discovered these amazingly sharp and versatile tools.
Microplane zesters and graters come in various sizes and options, won’t set you back, and make a perfect gift for anyone who adores cooking. So easy to use, I whip mine out for grating and zesting garlic, ginger, Parmesan, chocolate, nutmeg, citrus fruit, and coconut. The ribbon grater works wonderfully for larger chocolate curls, carrots, butter, and soft cheeses. You can pick up the classic gift set of 3 directly from Microplane.

Located on a remote island, the French Island Farmhouse is an off-gride abode off the coast of Australia. With no power, water, or sealed roads on the site, the only option was to prefabricate the structure off-site and deliver it in five parts across Victoria's Westernport Bay. The steel and Austrialian hardwood-clad home is completely self sustaining, running off solar power, rainwater harvesting, wood heating, and a worm farm sewage treatment system. In the middle of the exterior, a cutout creates a large courtyard to take in the isolated setting, while its elevated foundation allows for undisrupted views of the adjacent sea.
Renovated from a 1901 art nouveau building, the Attic Apartment turns the old maid rooms and unused loft space into a two-story dwelling. The original pinewood flooring runs throughout the interior and has been given a pale scandinavian finish, aiding to the bright palette, created by white walls and loads of natural light brought in by numerous glazed panels. The entrance level houses the bedrooms, bathrooms, office, and family room, all divided by a series of black dyed MDF partitions. The former attic consists of an open living area that expands out to a large rooftop terrace, affording views of the park below.
Accessed by an abandoned logging road, the Carolina Hillside House is a secluded getaway above North Wilkesboro's Kerr Scott Lake. The entire exterior is clad in untreated cypress, allowing for a unique patina to form on the outer facade. At the center of the home, a large opening separates the main living area from the sleeping quarters, creating a sheltered patio to enjoy an outdoor fireplace. It's elevated setting pairs with a generous amount of glazing to lend views of the forest below.
The herringbone wood floors, subdued color palette, and well-chosen, minimal furnishings make it feel modern. The walls tell you otherwise. Built using portions of the existing structure that date back as far as the 500s, the Ancient Apartment mixes old and new with rare results. It was completed as part of a renovation of an entire multi-story building in Mantua, Italy, and takes advantage of the original decorations found in the ceilings and walls by leaving them exposed and surrounding them with furnishings that allow them to stand out.

When individuals rely on the presence of others to increase their chances of survival and reproduction, the emergence of adaptations that reduce this dependence can help rescue small populations from extinction.
Exploring the ecological and evolutionary consequences of the relationship between individual fitness and population size is the focus of Andrew Kanarek's research as a postdoctoral fellow at NIMBioS. Kanarek studies the dynamics of small populations and in particular how individual differences in morphological, behavioral, and life history traits influence population viability at low density.
Called the Allee effect, this theory suggests that for small populations, reproduction and survival rates of individuals increase as the population grows. This positive relationship between individual fitness and population size is often the result of mate limitation, when males and females have difficulty finding each other, but can also arise due to the advantageous effects of group feeding and defense. The principle has been observed in numerous species ranging from bacteria to plants to animals. The Allee effect is attributed to American animal behaviorist Warder Clyde Allee who first wrote about this population phenomenon in the 1930s when he observed that goldfish grew faster when there were more individuals in the tank to condition the water by releasing protective chemicals, such as calcium salts, which enhanced survival.
Kanarek, who has a Ph.D. in biology from Colorado State University, is developing spatially explicit mathematical models that incorporate eco-genetic trait dynamics and account for individual phenotypic variation. Much of the research focuses on building what's called individual-based models to study how complex patterns arise from simple decisions at the organismal level.
Kanarek's interest in Allee effects grew out of a curiosity in animal and human behavior. "Group formation, communication, and sociality seem to be some of the emergent properties, based on multiple direct and indirect environmental factors, to avoid Allee effects," Kanarek said. "Thus, elucidating these factors to explain life history strategies and applying them in the context of adaptive evolution for the persistence of small populations has motivated much of my research."
Ultimately, understanding the dynamics of small populations can help in predicting the viability of species and also help in developing effective strategies to manage invasive pests and pathogens, as well as endangered species.

*British clinical psychologist, journalist, bestselling book author, and television documentary producer. and presenter ...instead of providing day care the money could have been used to support those mothers who wanted to care for their babies themselves to do so.
How Not to F*** Them Up by Oliver James, ©2010, p274 ...there is no evidence that day care is advantageous to children from middle-class families, and there is considerable evidence that it increases the risk of dysregulated cortisol levels, aggression, disobedience and emotional insecurity, especially if the care is of low quality. Unfortunately, this latter is the norm in the United States and Britain.
*A UK government child care initiative similar to the Head Start programme in the United States and is also comparable to Australia Head Start and Ontario's Early Years Plan.
How Not to F*** Them Up by Oliver James, ©2010, p279 ...where (mothers) are middle-class, in most cases they leave their child in the company of substitutes who are young women, usually with much less education and lower IQs than them. All the evidence on what enables a child to perform well would predict that doing so would reduce its performance - as it does.
How Not to F*** Them Up by Oliver James, ©2010, p279 That high-quality day care...can improve cognitive performance in children of low-income families is not a case for middle-class parents to opt for it.
The fact is, anyway, that most day care is not high-quality. When you put this together with the evidence you are about to read about the proven emotional problems caused by day care, there seems no case whatever for opting for day care if you are a middle-class parent and seeking substitute care.
How Not to F*** Them Up by Oliver James, ©2010, p279-280 Cortisol is the stress hormone secreted when a person feels under threat, leading to fight or flight in animals, and to aggression or hyperactivity, or withdrawal, in humans. As we shall see, there is now overwhelming evidence that day care causes children to have abnormal cortisol levels, probably increasing the risk of behavioural problems like aggression, fearfulness and hyperactivity.
How Not to F*** Them Up by Oliver James, ©2010, p282 That day care and cortisol dysregulation have been so consistently shown to correlate strongly implies that there is something about day care which is stressful.
How Not to F*** Them Up by Oliver James, ©2010, p282 Cortisol is known to dampen the immune system and this may partly explain the well-established fact that toddlers in day care suffer much more physical illness than those raised at home; of course, exposure to so many other children's infections is also a reason. but the worry becomes considerably greater when you learn the impact of day care on cortisol levels continues long after early childhood.

Memory allows one to be at two places at the same time. It allows one to compare and contrast, to leave one world and grab hold of another.
In a soundscape composition, spaces dissolve into other spaces the way the present dissolves into a recollection of the past. For example, one takes the apartment elevator to emerge not from the foyer of an apartment building, but rather, from a quiet seaside dock. The work Memory operates by such subjectivity. One image chases another at will. Often they collide, interfere, overlap, or else, merge into one.
The soundscapes of Memory were all recorded in Stockholm (and vicinity) during a visit in November 1997. The memory in this case is that of Stockholm, and with a few exceptions, during the time of August Strindberg’s lifetime, approximately a century ago. Featured among the sounds evoking this period is the elevator Strindberg used in his last apartment where the Strindberg Museet is now located. There is also the changing of the guard ceremony; Strindberg once worked in the library located in the Royal Palace. He was also familiar with the bells quoted in this work. The first from a pair of churches located in Gamla Stan. The second from the Stadhuset, evoking battle songs of centuries past.
The prevalence of these older sounds gives the piece a nostalgic character. What is it that motivates me to evoke a past that does not belong to me, but to the people of Stockholm? Cultural origins for many Canadians have been erased for one reason or another for more than hundred and fifty years of settlement: surnames have been altered, language discarded, clothing replaced, and historical knowledge forgotten. Stockholmers have a past that can be retrieved much more easily. For Canadians, the past is an individual matter, divided among many intertwining roads. Which explains my attraction to the historical sound treasures that frequent this composition. Beyond the richness of a multi-cultural heritage lingers many untold stories and vanished bridges.
Memory is 7 minutes in duration. It was realized in 1997-98 at the Stockholm EMS and the composer’s personal studio. Many thanks to all the kind folks at the Strindberg Museet, EMS (Electroacoustic Music in Sweden), Skansen, Faktorimuseet, and Radermacher Forges for their generousity and hospitality. Also to Hans Ulrich Werner for providing an outlet to realize this work and Claude Schryer for his critical feedback.

Eating a well-balanced diet is the key to maintaining a healthy weight and preventing chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and even certain cancers. Unfortunately, many U.S. adults eat more fatty foods than they should, and fewer fruits and vegetables than they need. In fact, roughly 66 percent of adults consume more than the recommended daily allowance of fat in their diet, but only 25 percent eat the recommended number of daily servings of fruits and vegetables.
Changing eating habits can be a challenge, especially during the workday when healthy choices often take a backseat to convenience. That's why Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island (BCBSRI) offers Nutrition 101 to employers receiving the Good Health Benefit (GHB) work site wellness service.
Nutrition 101: Portions - This 60-minute class teaches participants the importance of healthy serving sizes for controlling their nutrition intake, and offers guidance on how to understand food labels and the approved dietary guidelines.
Nutrition 101: On the Run - This 45-minute class helps guide participants toward better (healthier) decision making when dining out at restaurants and fast-food places.
Nutrition 101: Shopping - This 45-minute class offers tips on which "zones" of the supermarket offer products that provide the best nutritional value. After all, you can't make a healthy meal without healthy ingredients.
To ensure optimal learning and interaction, each workshop is limited to a maximum enrollment of 30 participants. If more than 30 people register, additional sessions will be scheduled. For worksites with limited scheduling flexibility, the Nutrition 101: Stop-by session provides a convenient alternative. This session allows participants to have a brief discussion with a GHB Health Educator on many of the dietary topics covered at length in the three program workshops.
Nutrition 101 can be delivered as a series, in which the three workshops will be offered in the sequence in which they appear above.
In both formats, the Nutrition 101: Stop-by is treated as a separate program. Your GBH Account Manager will work with you to determine which method is right for your organization.
Research shows that healthy lifestyle programs delivered at the work site can have a significant impact on employees' eating habits, and thereby benefit their long-term health. To learn more about Nutrition 101 and other work site wellness programs and services available through GHB, please contact your GHB Account Manager or your BCBSRI Sales Representative.

Perhaps as no shock, oceanography is going to need some more money, about $2-3 billion to be exact. A group of international scientist called the Partnership for Observation of the Global Oceans (POGO) says “warming seas, over-fishing and pollution are among profound concerns that must be better measured to help society respond in a well-informed, timely and cost-effective way…A system for ocean observing and forecasting that covers the world’s oceans and their major uses can reduce growing risks, protect human interests and monitor the health of our precious oceans.” So what would we spend all that cash on?
Share the post "We Are Going to Need Some More Money"
According to the Washington Post (link below), we’re spending about $720 million PER DAY in Iraq. Whether you’re for the war or against it, there’s no denying that this funding could have gone a long way for other purposes, including renewable energy resources and oceanic research. Even knowing that federal budget messes are not their fault, it’s all I can do to bite my tongue with NOAA bureaucrats who attempt to argue with me about my university-mandated overhead charges in my grant budget spreadsheets, all the while the public hears about new contractor fiascos within the State and Defense Departments on a daily basis.
2-3 billion? That’s not alot in today’s global economy. I am glad POGO had the guts too ask for the money they need to get the job done right. They hope they also had the smarts to include a cushion fund for their unforeseeable needs. The Pentagon certainly would.

Discussion in 'Search Engine Optimization' started by unisecureus, Oct 25, 2018.
Normally SEO is long term works to get traffics but its important for organic traffics on regular basis. As you are looking for traffics improvement on fast mode then your main key is Unique and informative blog, use social media platform to get traffics from starting. Once user will notice that you are giving very good information then they will subscribe you or follow you.
Second ratio or update, you should update your blog by unique contents at least twice in a week (If can do regular or alternate then best) because it will attract search engines eyes and once you get noticed that updating blog very frequently with unique and informative contents then you can boom. Keep in mind that SEO is also still part to get good organic traffics for long term so dont leave process of SEO in natural ways like Link building and social bookmarking top sites for each new post.
Learn about content marketing. Publish engaging blog posts that visitors will want to share.
The only way to increase your traffic FAST is to buy it.
You can do that with Google Adsense, Facebook advertising, JV partnering, classified ads, solo ads. Just to name a few.
If you try the solo ad route you'll need to be especially picky in choosing your vendor. There are a lot of not so ethical providers in that area of advertising. Udimi is a good source. Study the vendor ratings to find the reliable ones.
Your SEO will play a good factor in it, but you can start working on social media right now to increase it. I find FB great for boosting traffic quickly.
First of all start with SEO, it won't provide you with a fast result but it will benefit the most at the end of the day. For relatively fast traffic I suggest using active social media and forum promotion. In case you need instant figures - try PPC.
Thanks all for valuable replies.
Hi, When I start where I post article on daily basis or may be 2 or 3 article per day with quality content also top keyword searches, So without link building can I get rank in top searches?
In starting you must have to let search engines know that you are updating your blog or informative website with unique contents on regular basis. For this best ways is bookmark to top sites like digg, redit your each submitted contents. When search engines will see that you are updating or giving very good information for visitors then no need to do more link building. For example this sites and forums digitalpoints, ezinearticles, articlebase ..... Till now i did not listen that these sites are doing link building along with update.
You can increase your traffic via google search engine, SEO, You should share your post link on social media and the promote your website.
Good way to increase traffic will be quality content. It will be the most correct decision.
Try to publish unique content. Also, you can try guest posts. It can bring you a lot of traffic if a famous site will accept your article.
It is advisable to circulate your blog on various high traffic micro-blogging sites and do social bookmarking accordingly. You can also take advantage of social media promotion as well.

MO: have you guys seen or heard anything about Suzuki's new 250? There's been a few mentions of it on other sites.
In the UK, Suzuki calls it the Inazuma and claims it puts out 24hp and 29.5 ft-lb. Fuel consumption is said to be 85 miles per UK gallon which works out to about 70 mpg in US measurements.
US pricing has yet to be announced, but we hope it will be under $5000 if Suzuki hopes to stand a chance against Honda and Kawasaki's offerings. In the UK, it's priced about $882 lower than the Honda CBR250R, but we'll have to see when American Suzuki announces its price.
It's manufactured in China which we hope would help keep costs down.
Made in China? I didn't see that fact elsewhere. I guess China is Suzuki's answer to Honda's Thailand plant.
It looks like a mini B-King!
Yes, China. That's where it was first introduced earlier this year. I took a look at the GW250 at the Toronto Motorcycle Show which was the same weekend as the Long Beach IMS.
How did it look "fit and finish" wise, especially compared to the CB250R and the new Ninja 300?
I was down at the local super-dealer yesterday getting a part, and they had the new 300 on the floor. I was really impressed at how improved it was over the previous version. And they had 4 or 5 variations of the CB250R, including a Repsol version that was really trick.
It's enough to make me wish I was a 16 y/o with some Israel bonds burning a hole in my pocket!
Geez look at that picture.
Yeah, that's kind of where I was going with my question. If it really does "look Chinese" they're wasting their time trying to sell them at $4k. Nobody would pass on the CBR or the Ninja at the same price for a bike like that. Not to mention Suzuki's own SV650 is only a couple grand more.
I think the Chinese have a huge percieved quality gap to overcome before they have any success with higher end products here. Much like the "Jap" junk of the 50's and 60's or Korean Crap of the 80's and 90's, both of which are now synonymous with high quality. The Chinese are certainly capable of it, time will tell if they have the impetus to try or are satisfied with mid range to low range quality goods.
China needs their own "CB 750." IMO, that motorcycle was an epiphany that altered the American perception of Japanese products. Obviously products that followed from Toyota, Datsun, and various electronics manufacturers carried the momentum forward as well.
Don't forget though that it's a motorcycle made in China, but it's still a Suzuki. It's a notable difference between the GW250 and a similar product built in China by a Chinese manufacturer. It's like the difference between a made-in-China Apple iPad and an tablet produced by a Chinese manufacturer. The product still has to meet the manufacturer's own quality standards.
