Foxit has axed development of its eSlick ereader, intending instead to focus on “platform-independent PDF technology” which it hopes to license to third-parties.  Initially unveiled back in December 2008, the eSlick was rebadged Netronix hardware that Foxit loaded up with their own custom software; it was priced at $199 though lacked any form of wireless connectivity.

That specification hole – together with the fact that Kobo began selling their own version of the Netronix hardware for $50 less – left the eSlick looking uncompetitive against discounted Kindle and nook devices.  According to Erik Bryant, Assistant Vice President Sales at Foxit, “We have been licensing our PDF and ePub technology to a number of eBook vendors. Our decision to discontinue eSlick is to eliminate the possibility of competing with our partners.”

After Trying Every Search Engine Optimization Method for Your Website and Still Getting a Terrible Ranking, Maybe You Should Consider Hiring an SEO Company Immediately

It has been said that desperate times call for desperate measures, and that is the feeling that most website owners have after they've been experiencing the huge frustrations of trying to get their online businesses to
 be displayed in the top ranking pages of Yahoo! or Google. Your only option as a website owner who must have a good ranking or else go bankrupt, would be to hire a really great SEO company that specializes in getting a small business like yours a really great ranking at all costs. Here are six ways to make sure you are picking the right company to put you in the league with the big boys of the internet world:

1. IMPLEMENT A GOOD BACKGROUND CHECK ON YOUR POTENTIAL SEO COMPANY This step includes typing the company name in Yahoo! or Google and seeing what kind of negative feedback comes back on the SEO business that you are interested in. I would say that if there are more than six credible instances of irate customers who used this SEO company and were not at all satisfied with the service they provided, definitely start looking elsewhere.

Just make sure you are looking in the right places to get this credible info, because it could be misinformation put out there by the SEO company's main competitors. If you can make a contact with a previous customer, by all means do this first. A first hand testimonial from someone with a similar online business like yours who had a good experience with the SEO company is the best research tool of all.

2. MAKE SURE THEIR OWN SITE IS VERY HIGH IN GOOGLE'S RANKING PAGE If an SEO company cannot get their own business ranked at least in the top ten on Yahoo! or Google, they won't have a shot at helping you get even a decent rating in one of the biggest search engines. Any really competent SEO company will be listed in the top five rankings under “SEO businesses”, so start with those five and work your way down your list and find a really good SEO company that fits your budget.

What are your beloved burger recipes?

A controversial agreement between the of Montana and Ted Turner, involving the transfer of 100 buffalo from Yellowstone National Park to the media mogul's Montana ranch for an experimental breeding program, was a featured story in the New York Times recently. Turner, the founder of CNN, also has a national chain of restaurants that serve buffalo.

His plan has brought attention to the future of bison, a still-threatened symbol of the American West, and hopes for returning massive numbers of the animals to the wild. But it also highlights rising consumer demand for what many Americans once considered an exotic meat.

Now a Protected Species

After being hunted to extinction, buffalo became a protected species in the 1890s. There are now about a half-million bison in North America today — with almost all of them on private ranches.

Bison make up only a fraction of America's red meat industry, but buffalo meat has more protein and less fat than beef, and is typically raised on grass from to finish, avoiding time in crowded feedlots — an attraction for health- and eco-conscious consumers. In the 1990s, bison began appearing in many American supermarkets, usually as a specialty item. Like the cattle industry, the recent economic downturn affected bison prices and reduced the size of commercial buffalo herds. But as with beef, consumer demand has rebounded.

According to the National Bison Association, “bison demand has consistently grown in double digits for the past five years.” The Association states 70,000 buffalo were slaughtered in the U.S. last year under federal and state inspection — more than double the processing figures for 2002.

The Denver Post reports that the average retail price of ground bison has gone from about $5.30 a pound in 2006 to $6.20 — with buffalo steaks selling for $15 to $20. And the USDA estimates that American consumers eat 1 million pounds of bison each month.

The Year of the Buffalo

Love is that

06:35 pm – Good news, bad news, and mixed news
Good News

Last weekend in April – Had an amazing weekend in the not-so-cold north for my godson's First Communion. Wonderful visit – hard to believe it had been almost four years since I had last seen them! And, all six flights (3 there, 3 back) were without major mishap. Unheard of!

First weekend in May – was honored by my first ever baby shower. The food was great, but the company was even better. Bryan was quite proud of himself with all the secrets he had been keeping. At 5 till midnight Friday, my doorbell rang. My mil, sil, and 12 year old bil had flown up just to surprise me for the weekend. And, the surprises didn't end there! Saturday morning, imagine my surprise when both jerseychick and k8tlou rolled into my driveway! Alas, the visitors could stay for far too short a time.

School is nearing completion. Not as fast as I would like it, but we're getting there. (Last day is June 15).

Had an ultrasound today. Babies are doing fabulously – both weigh exactly the same (well 6 grams apart, if that counts for anything). Both are 2 pounds 15 ounces which puts them in the 61st percentile. Mind you, that's compared to singletons, not twins!

Babies are kicking away. Right now they're lined up so that they're circling around my belly button. She's breech, with her feet behind her brother's head. He's vertex, with his feet behind his sister's head. They've been taking turns kicking each other vigorously. They're either working on taking turns or they're battling for dominance.

Mixed News

I'm all wired up. I've had heart palpitations and shortness of breath episodes off and on the last several weeks. My OB referred me to a cardiologist to be fitted with a 24 hour monitor. Let's just say it's not too subtle.

Middle schoolers are not known for logical thinking. Interims went home today – I handed out a lot more F's than normal. My 8th graders went around today blaming teachers for their grades. While I can only speak for the classes I teach, I know that their effort has seemingly vanished into thin air. So on one hand I have 8th graders complaining about how they hate school; on the other, I have 6th and 7th graders hugging me and telling me how I'm their favorite teacher.

I was able to move my next OB appt closer and make it work with my schedule. This is mixed news because I don't want the side effects that make this earlier appt necessary.

Bad News

While the babies are doing fabulously, I am not. More specifically, my cervix is not. Overall, I feel great. However, my cervix is shortening much ahead of schedule. One month ago, it measured 2.1 cm in length (and should have been over 3). Today it measured 1.5 cm in length. Depending on when I hit 1.0 cm, I may have to be hospitalized in effort to forestall preterm labor. In the meanwhile, the perinatalogist is counseling at least restricted activity. Teaching the rest of the year may have to be re-examined.

I am 28 weeks and 3 days. I could not give birth at my hospital if the babies come before 30 weeks. (there are four other hospitals in town that are equipped for super-premies, but not the one closest to me).

The thoughts of preterm labor this early are terrifying. They are made slightly less so by the apparent heartiness of the babies. However, since I got all this news just a few hours ago, I don't think I've really had time to process it yet.

In conclusion

I have happily come to learn how much we are loved by our friends and family. (I never doubted, but it's always nice to have visual, tangible reminders.) I know that whatever happens, we will be enveloped in the support and love and prayers of our community.

The hand of God has been very visible in all these embryo adoption, pregnancy, and deployment proceedings.

Bryan and I (plus me and my OB, and me and my principal) have a LOT of discussions ahead of us.
Current Mood: drained

The newly renovated Art Gallery of Alberta opened to the public on Feb. 2.

(CBC)Ontly two months after opening, the new Art Gallery of Alberta is undergoing repair.

Work crews on Tuesday were fixing sections of the concrete staircase that leads into the $88-million gallery, which opened officially on Feb. 2.

There were problems with heating coils that run under the stairs to melt snow and ice, officials said. And the only way to fix them was to drill and remove the concrete. Patrons were skirting around the drilling and through dust to get inside.

Scott Nye, director of finance and operations, described the trouble as minor. But at least one passerby, Peter Schieren, stated he was surprised to see work on a brand-new building.

“I think it's kind of odd considering they just completed building the thing,” he said.

But passerby Patty Walker said it looks as if the kinks are just being worked out of what is essentially a gem of a building.

“It's a short-term that I think they'll deal with quickly and then it'll be a beautiful building.”

Art Gallery officials the work should be complete in a couple of weeks. The cost is being picked up by the contractors.

Fine aint it ? :)

Lear About of Picutres

March 19th, 2010 by foopqe

Today’s session was down at my new favorite location in Santa Rosa. This is just a mini sneak peek preview since I really should be sleeping but I just had to share two of my favorites from today. I have been wanting to return to this creek since the shoot for Mossy Oak Lane so it was a pleasure to come back with my favorite client for her birthday session.

After a bunch of hoping and running around the creek and paths she was so done. I bet it was quite a site to see with her laying down on this rock by the creek and with me laying down across two rocks trying not to fall in the water this time LOL

Mom and Dad’s favorite from today

One look at the beautiful portraiture from Pierre Manning’s Les Muse series is enough to transfix even the hardest of minds. Based in Montreal, Canada Manning creates such hyper-realistic imagery that the viewer is almost certain to be drawn in, and captivated by his magical photographic skill – not mention the women he shoots are also pretty stunning. But that’s an entirely different story. Great work Mr. Manning.
