The term ‘dry-cleaning’ is a bit misleading really, although it doesn’t involve water, it is not really “dry”. Instead, it uses an organic solvent rather than water to clean.

Dry-cleaning is chosen when water and soap or detergent would damage the fabrics. It is also very useful for items that are too delicate to be washed in the normal laundry and for those that would otherwise need to be washed by hand.

All your clothing and items are tagged for identification and then inspected for any damages or loose buttons and such, which the dry-cleaner notes down, for accountability later. The garments will then be examined for any stains, which will then be pre-treated with specific stain removers. This will either remove the stain or make it easier for it to be removed later in the process.

Garment are grouped according to color-fastness and then loaded into a dry-cleaning machine, which is a combined washer-extractor-dryer. The clothes sit in a perforated, stainless-steel drum or basket, which rotates and churns the clothes around, while a constant flow of cleaning solvent is pumped into the basket, spraying and saturating all the clothes, as well as gently pounding them against the baffles of the cylinder. The dirty solvent is then pumped out through the filter, which traps all dirt, and the filtered solvent is then re-circulated and used again. For the final rinse, the basket is rinsed with fresh distilled solvent.

Once the clothes have been through the “washing cycle”, the basket is spun rapidly to expel all remaining solvent using centrifugal force. Next, the drying involves a continuous stream of warm air circulating through the basket while the garments are turned and tumbled around. Any remaining solvent and fumes are quickly vaporized in the warm air, which is then cooled and condensed over cooling coils. Any distilled solved extracted from this air current is returned to be re-used in future cycles.

Finally, there will be a “post-spotting” phase where the garments are examined again for any remaining stains and then the appropriate stain removers applied to tackle them. Most stains and spots should be removed but occasionally, some marks will be resistant.

Before allowing the clothes to be collected, they will undergo a finishing phases where they will be pressed, steamed then ironed and reshaped so that they look their best. Many professional cleaners will also make any necessary repairs, so that your clothes are given back to you in excellent condition.

Moving a Website to a New Domain but Keep the Page Rank

Google Page Rank is important to a lot of people, and many base their decisions around it. There is now no excuse to stay with an underperforming or useless domain name if you can move it and keep the rank.

There are many reasons why you might want to move domain names. Two have already been mentioned. Usefulness is a big factor, one that most of the webmasters out there are keen to compete on. Underperforming is something else entirely. Some domain names just work, they do. They are either perfectly descriptive, niche names or you got there before everyone else did. If you have a page that appears high on the SERP, you may put up with bad ones in order to retain the result. Well no longer do you have to.

I have tried this one myself, which is why I’m writing about it now. I moved a site from a .com domain to a .org a little over three months ago. It had a Page Rank of four before the move, and I was a little apprehensive that all my good work would have been for naught. However, the new site is now back at four, right where we started from!

So here is what I did.

Firstly, and obviously I did a 301 redirect on the old domain and pointed it to the new one. Then I pointed the new .org domain to the website directory. Within that directory I created a folder called “com-site.” The name could have been anything but the descriptive title would remind me what it was if I was having a blonde day.

Within the “com-site” directory I created a new .htaccess file in order to tell browsers, and search engines what to do. The code I used was:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.websitename.org/$1

Then I tested from every browser that typing in the old .com address it redirected to the .org one. It may have been overkill, trying each browser, but it’s a habit I got into when first starting out in web design.

Then I pointed the old domain to the “com-site” directory and tested again with each browser. It didn’t work at first, but after a couple of hours it got picked up and started working properly. My patience was tested, as I was ready to take action and undo it all, but luckily I was interrupted by some work, and by the time I went back it was working.

I then updated the sitemap.xml file to reflect the new domain name and deleted the sitemap from Google. I replaced it with a new one and sat back to wait. Approximately three months later, after many days with the Google toolbar, it showed PR4 again. Not trusting the toolbar on its own, I went to Webmaster Central, and lo and behold, I was PR4 again!

I’m sure most of you out there already know this one, but I was so pleased it worked that I just had to share.

Déplacement d'un site vers un nouveau domaine mais garder le Page Rank Google Page Rank est important pour beaucoup de gens, et la base de beaucoup de leurs décisions autour d'elle. Il n'ya maintenant aucune excuse pour rester avec un sous-performants ou nom de domaine inutile si vous pouvez le déplacer et à maintenir le rang. Il ya plusieurs raisons pour lesquelles vous pouvez renommer les noms de domaine. Deux ont déjà été mentionnées. L'utilité est un facteur important, celui que la plupart des webmasters là-bas sont désireux de concourir sur. Sous-performant est tout autre chose. Certains noms de domaine de travail juste, ils le font. Ils sont soit parfaitement descriptive, les noms de niche ou vous y êtes arrivé avant tout le monde fait. Si vous avez une page qui semble élevé sur les SERP, vous mai mis en place avec les mauvaises, afin de conserver le résultat. Eh bien non plus le faire vous devez.

The arrival of the Internet and the creation of the World Wide Web brought something different in the lives of men. A lot of things became convenient particularly communication. We used to contend and gripe about slow paced postal mails which came to be known as snail-mails. Today, we cannot imagine a world without Internet connectivity in our midst because a lot of our businesses depend greatly in our emails. Until we learned to create a blog which we used to communicate our thoughts to whoever would be interested to read it.

To create a blog site could be easy if you know where to find the right tools you could use as well as understand the different applications. A blog site which is opposed to a website contains mostly your personal views. Later on, Google made it all easy when this Internet giant provided the user not only the use of free emails, but also free resources to create a blog site. Google's Blogger, is quite user friendly, dispensing of the need to go into tutorials just to create a blog site where you could post just about anything.

Google also made it possible to create a blog site to earn some form of income, when they included adwords and adsense features to the Blogger. Later on, the use of keywords became significant especially when thinking up of your blog title should you decide to create your own blog site. Since the Google advertising tools also made use of keywords to install their ad spots, the blogger then became conscious that keywords are necessary tools, if they are to create a blog to fill up their site. Search engines include just about any keyword related content and your earning potentials are enhanced if a lot of people were to visit your blog site.

To create a blog content, there are no limitations to the topic you choose to discuss for as long as they are not pornographic or illegal in nature. A dashboard is provided at your disposal where you can create a blog to post and publish as your content with very little need for a formal tutoring. “WYSIWYG” or “What You See is What You Get” is the term used to describe the Blogger's dashboard. The individual blogger is not required to be knowledgeable about HTML just to publish and create a blog content. Simply paste your blog draft whether from text pad or Word Document and the “WYSIWYG” will take care of the rest.

You can explore all other features when you create a blog site, like changing the templates, fonts, inserting links or adding images since they can be previewed or easily deleted in case your first try turns out awry. The Blogger's basic tools for adding widgets and all other popular gadgets are also very accessible and user friendly.

The Internet user has come a long way in harnessing the World Wide Web to make his existence known all across the globe. He only needs to create a blog site and let everyone know what he thinks about himself, his family and friends, his religion, his work, about the US President, about wars, or even contribute his knowledge about health, love, parenting, and just about everything and anything under the sun.

Yahoo! Introduces Ad Interest Manager

Provides Consumers with Greater Transparency and Control over Their
Online Advertising Experience

WASHINGTON, Dec 07, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Today Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ:YHOO) released a beta version of a new
consumer tool called Ad Interest Manager, which takes transparency in
online advertising to a new level for building user trust. Ad Interest
Manager http://privacy.yahoo.com/aim
is a central place where Yahoo! visitors can see a concise summary of
their online activity and make easy, constructive choices about their
exposure to interest-based advertising served from the Yahoo! Ad Network.

“Ads tailored to users' interests make online experiences more
compelling and user-focused, and the new tool Yahoo! is launching today
will provide transparency into how Yahoo!'s interest-based advertising
works,” said Yahoo! Vice President of Policy and Head of Privacy, Anne
Toth. “Yahoo! is committed to providing consumers with increased
transparency and control when they are online. Ad Interest Manager will
show users what interests we think they have, and also let them edit and
change those interests to reflect the most up-to-date information.” Anne
Toth also pointed out: “Importantly, users who don't want interest-based
ads can turn them off completely.”

Yahoo!'s new Ad Interest Manager tool:

• Provides a central point where Yahoo! visitors can assert even greater
  control over their online experience.
• Gives visitors an unparalleled view into the information used to
  deliver interest-based advertising.
• Shows the visitor both Yahoo!'s educated guesses about their interests
  and a summary of observations, along with other information they have
  provided.
• Provides a list of specific interest categories that Yahoo! has placed
  a user into and lets people turn those categories off.
• Allows people who don't want to see interest-based ads to turn them
  off entirely.

“Yahoo! has long provided its users with products and services for free,
thanks to a business model based almost entirely on advertising, and
we've found that consumers are more likely to click on advertising that
speaks directly to them and their interests,” said Yahoo! Vice President
and General Manager of Display Advertising, David Zinman. “With the
introduction of Ad Interest Manager, users can not only get a better
understanding of how the process works, but they can also communicate
better with Yahoo! and our advertisers about what most interests them.”

Yahoo!'s Ad Interest Manager is currently available in beta in the U.S.
and will soon be made available to UK and European users. Planned future
enhancements to the Ad Interest Manager will also let users add
categories of interest that Yahoo! may have missed.

To see what the new Ad Interest Manager looks like and how it works,
please visit http://privacy.yahoo.com/aim.

Yahoo! was one of the first companies to implement a layered privacy
center http://info.yahoo.com/privacy/us/yahoo/details.html
model more than eight years ago, which provides people with a central
place to understand and control their privacy online, as well as their
options when it comes to the use of personal data. This information is
coupled with our industry-leading data-retention policy http://ycorpblog.com/2008/12/17/your-data-goes-incognito/,
which anonymizes most Web log data within 90 days. The policy also
strives to ensure that Yahoo! retains data only long enough to serve the
business and create the highest-quality user experiences, while
simultaneously maintaining the ability to fight fraud, secure systems,
and meet legal obligations.

On December 23, 2008, Yahoo (YHOO) created a “complicance guide for law enforcement,” detailing what kinds of user data the company keeps and for how long, and how government officials should go about requesting it.

Check out the annotated documents →

News Corp (NWS) social network MySpace published a similar document in 2006.

Though Yahoo's guide “is not meant to be distributed to individuals or organizations that are not law enforcement entities,” we obtained both through WikiLeaks.

Given all the controversy over copyright infringement, Internet child predators, and even simple cyber security, its obvious these companies had to create these documents. We suppose Yahoo and MySpace rivals Facebook, Google, AOL and all the rest hand out documents just like these to law enforcement.

That doesn't stop the docs from being a little bit creepy anyway. That's because they sometimes read like menus for a data-hungry Big Brother.

For example, Yahoo's document helpfully alerts law enforcement that if they'd like to read a user's instant messanger logs, they better ask within 45 days and come bearing a 2703(d) order. That is, unless there's “imminent danger of death or serious physical injury.” If that's the case, there's another letter to fax entirely.

MySpace wants police to know they can access user ID, IP addresses and login date stamps for up to 90 days after a user deletes their account.

Check out the annotated documents →

More and more, search isn’t just a matter of lots of text and ten blue links. Mixed media – think pictures and video – is a big deal. And an important Yahoo executive recently explained how this affects search from the perspective of his company, search engine users, and publishers.

Larry Cornett, Vice President of Product Management and Design for Yahoo Search, said in an interview with Abby Johnson that Yahoo is attempting to create a “personally relevant search experience” for people. The company wants to provide a comprehensive amount of information so that individuals can always find what they’re looking for.

To this end, Yahoo’s introduced a universal header that helps determine users’ intent. It can help direct someone who’s searching for a football player to Yahoo Sports, for example.

Of course, this approach means that publishers should take more than text search results into account. According to Cornett, they need to pay attention to how their brand is portrayed in image and video search results, and on Twitter, too.

Cornett then boiled the matter down to a fairly simple question publishers should ask themselves: “Am I really being represented the way I want to be in every one of these search experiences?”

If this article has any relation to MS and Yahoo (which I doubt), then you can see why this wasn’t a title too:
Xbox 360 – It’s all fun and games until it RROD’s!

The fact is these products use batteries, any battery will degrade overtime and with charge cycles just like the batteries that are used for remote controls and the 360 pad.
The cell type used in these batteries for the DS3 is the same for laptops and are very reliable, I think the article was very poorly written and seems to group the PS3 unjustifiably with unreliable products, which quite simply is not fact.

I know that my pad last for days on end without charging and nobody I know has ever had problems (apart from when I got a bit too competitive on Beijing 2008)
Has anybody actually had problems charging their pad?

Maybe the writer should just get some coal for xmas, after all the article does mention this:
“But I’m starting to think that coal isn’t a bad gift at all. For one thing, it lasts forever”.

Go buy some coal then.

The former Autodesk CEO teased the lunchtime audience at UBS’s media summit after a joke or two (one about low-quality “Russian bride” online ads). When she didn’t get the intended reaction, she told them she’s used to CAD conferences and talking to engineers. She said, “You guys are supposed to be interesting!”

She wasn’t done yet. Ms. Bartz noted that Yahoo is attracting a large share of teenage and twentysomething Internet users and that not all of them have restricted themselves to Facebook. “They’re smarter than that — they’re open to other things, occasionally,” she said.

The reality, she added, is that Yahoo’s competition is not with the Yelps and Microsofts of the world but with offline advertising. “We have so much more education to do,” she said, pointing out that 95% of advertising isn’t Internet-based. “That is an open market.”

Ms. Bartz acknowledged that Google will maintain its lead in search ads — “you’ve got to play the hand you’re dealt here” — but that Yahoo is focused on improving revenue per search and maintaining its considerable audience (it serves 10 billion ads a day, she said).

“People don’t come from the outside world to do a search on Yahoo,” she said, but the company aims to attract them to Yahoo sites, then “provide them a great search experience, so they don’t feel the need to leave.”

Yahoo Sells All Its Users Private Email Contents to U.S. Agencies for Small Price

As NewsBusters reported Saturday, President Obama caused a bit of an international incident this weekend when he bowed before Japanese emperor Akihito.

Not surprisingly, his adoring fans in the media have done everything in their power to cover for this peculiar demonstration by the most powerful man in the world.

With this in mind, the College Republicans at the University of Connecticut have put together a marvelous video to demonstrate how world leaders across the globe have addressed the emperor recently without bowing (video embedded below the fold, h/t Andrew Malcolm):

Now THAT’S entertainment!

Do you have an enormous amount of email that you need backed up? Are all of these emails overloading your system? Do you have a hard time finding emails that you saved, but have so many that you can’t find? We have a solution for your business. Email archiving is what you need and we are the experts that can handle it.

Email archiving is a simple solution to backing up emails, but where they can quickly be found. All anyone has to do is search the database. This can be used on any Windows operating system and only needs one email server. Aspects that email compliance is great for are the following: Legal purposes that someone may have accused you of wrongdoing where you can prove yourself innocent, a vacation story you vaguely remember, or an idea you had written and need to revert back. Obviously, there are many areas where archiving can be used and our company can implement this extraordinary technology for your company.

What about archiving other languages? With our state of the art technology, email storage in other languages is not a difficult task. There may be some languages that we cannot archive, but all you need to do is ask.

How can archive compliance truly help? For example, let’s assume you are an educational institution such as a high school. A parent calls and complains about a controversial email that may not have been controversial at all, yet was a few weeks back. The teacher or administrator can search the email archive database to find proof that the parent was just agitated and made a big deal out of nothing.

A law firm would also benefit from email retention. For example, a woman may be complaining about sexual harassment about another employee that has been lasting awhile. The boss could check the mail system and find that this was the case. Our email features make it simpler in tracing your files that may have been deleted. It saves you plenty of time and money.

Some other advantages of being in compliance is that less storage is used for your computer resulting in faster search times, plus with our company, it is safeguarded and protected.

If you were to have archived all your email yourself without using a company, obviously, you wouldn’t be protected, it would take up a vast amount of space on your computer, which could ultimately lead to a crash. It is possible for you to accidentally delete it. The great thing with a company is that we do everything for you and all you ever need to do is search. You never have to handle any type of internet technology. There is nothing you have to learn. Email archiving is all hosted in our system.

So, if you are looking for archiving solutions, look no further than our company. Not only do we excel in email storage, but our customer service is second to none.

Free whitepaper – Dell solid stats disk (SSD) drives

The Debian Project is planning a FreeBSD kernel of its disto that’ll help fine tune its Linux for web sites and critical network-based deployments.

Project members said Wednesday the next version of Debian, called Squeeze, will see a port to the FreeBSD kernel – the first time Debian has been put on FreeBSD.

The port, called kFreeBSD, will target AMD64/Intel EM64T and i386 processor architectures and receive top billing in Debian’s development efforts.

Project leaders said in statement: “Severe bugs on these architectures will be considered release critical the same way as bugs on other architectures like armel or i386 are. If a particular package does not build or work properly on such an architecture this problem is considered release-critical.”

FreeBSD is known for a number of advanced networking, performance, security features, and its ability to support large numbers of simultaneous users. It’s used widely on mail and web appliances, time servers, routers, storage devices and wireless access points.

According to the FreeBSD site: “FreeBSD makes an ideal internet or intranet server. It provides robust network services under the heaviest loads and uses memory efficiently to maintain good response times for thousands of simultaneous user processes.”

Debian said the FreeBSD port would provide broader choice of kernels and features, such as the OpenBSD Packet Filter and support for Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) drivers in the mainline kernel.

The OpenBSD packet filter helps normalize and condition TCP/IP traffic, with bandwidth control and packet prioritization. NDIS, meanwhile, hides the underlying complexity of the NIC hardware and provides an interface for level 3 network protocol drivers and the hardware level MAC drivers. ®

Man Arrested for Twittering Goes to Court, EFF Has the Documents

Deeplink by Kevin Bankston

Over the past day, Everyone has been reporting about the arrest last month of Elliot Madison for twittering about police movements to protesters during the G-20 Summit in Pittsburgh, PA.

The reason this is being reported on now is because on last Thursday, the FBI also raided Mr. Madison’s home in Queens, NY, followed on Friday by Mr. Madison’s filing of a motion in the Eastern District of New York federal court in Brooklyn for the return of his seized property.

In reviewing all the stories, we saw lots of quotes from Mr. Madison’s legal filings and from the Pennsylvania state criminal complaint against him, but no links to the legal papers themselves. As a resource to journalists and interested readers, we are posting Mr. Madison’s motion and his lawyer’s supporting declaration; attached to the declaration are copies of the search warrant, an inventory of the seized items, and the original criminal complaint.
