Interesting birthday story I found:

2006-10-29T22:31:00.000-08:00

These stories are parodies of the Harry Potter universe and characters, not meant to infringe on any copyright of J.K.Rowling, Scholastic, Warner Brothers, etc. They're meant purely for fun.Harry Potter's Strange BirthdayHarry Potter went to bed early on the evening of July 30th, too excited to notice theink-spattered diary on the stairs. Tomorrow was his birthday, and he had a feeling there would be interesting things in store for him tonight after midnight.Harry got into his pajamas and stared out his bedroom window. The moon was almost full, and the night brimmed with its light. He blinked. Had he just seena croaking chocolate frog flying across it? Of course not--not here on Privet Drive. But then a flicker of movement in the garden below caught his attention. Oh my,a croaking chocolate frog anda croaking chocolate frog were scampering out of the hedge. He could hear the television downstairs, which meant the Dursleys were still awake. He hoped they wouldn't look out their window, especially whena croaking chocolate frog hopped onto the garden bench. Aink-spattered diary chewed on the flowers in Next Door's garden, and Harry laughed. Wouldn't Aunt Petunia love to see that!Nothing else strange happened for a while, and Harry listened to the Dursleys go to bed. But then, certainly before they were asleep, Harry heard giggling. Oh no! Aink-spattered diary sat on his bed contentedly licking his pillow. Aink-spattered diary giggled at it from the night stand. "Hush!" he said, trying to shoo them out the window. They paid no attention to him, nor did themoldy stoat sandwich that crawled out from under the bed. Harry grabbed his pillow and took it with him to the window sill. While he sat there wondering how he could get rid of them without using magic, he heard scratching. Amoldy stoat sandwich was climbing up the side of the house toward him. It, too, ignored him when he leaned out and waved his arms to shoo it away. Quietly, he closed the window."Not again," Harry moaned. He remembered when Dobby the House Elf had got him into such trouble. Surely an invasion of magical creatures and things would attract the Dursleys' attention. He became more desperate whena baseball with feet scooted through the cat flap Uncle Vernon had installed in his room's door. "No! Go away!" he said. Then he had a horrible thought. If this had come into his room through the cat flap, there must be more things out there in the house. What if Aunt Petunia saw one? Her screams would wake everyone.Harry eased his door open, and immediatelya baseball with feet anda baseball with feet scampered into his room from the hall outside. Harry closed his eyes and shook his head. Where could they have come from? He closed his door behind him and tiptoed down the hall. Yes, there wasa baseball with feet by the bathroom door. He scooped it up, even though it squeaked in protest.Harry got an idea. He took a pillow case from the linen closet and put themoldy stoat sandwich he found in the hall and themoldy stoat sandwich that slithered up the stairs in it. As he tiptoed through the dark house, he wished he could use his wand. Lumos would be very handy right now!Soon Harry returned to his bedroom, the pillowcase squirming with themoldy stoat sandwich he'd found under the kitchen table, themoldy stoat sandwich that had come oozing out of the VCR, and themoldy stoat sandwich that had slipped through the mail slot. He'd stuck the mail slot closed with chewing gum, and hoped nothing else would get through it. By this time, he didn't care if themoldy stoat sandwich was fighting themoldy stoat sandwich, he just wanted to get them all out of the house. So he slid his window open and starting dumping everything outside. It was amazing how themoldy stoat sandwich fluttered off and themoldy stoat sandwich sailed through the air as if it were a kite.Just after he dumped the last weird thing out the window and closed it, his watch started to beep. He'd set it for midnight. When all those things appeared, he'd forgotten all about his birthday.Something else floated across the moon. Was ita baseball with feet? He blinked and looked again. No, it was his owl, Hedwig, carrying something in her talons. Harry opened the window again and let her in, pushinga baseball with feet off the windowsill as she settled on his bed. When the window was safely closed, he looked at what she'd brought him. It was a package wrapped in paper that changed from flourescent pink to neon green as he watched. Who could have sent it? The paper was torn all along one side--maybe from Hedwig's talons.Harry tore open the package anda baseball with feet fell out, along with a note. "Happy Birthday, Harry! Watch the sky for more surprises." It wasn't signed, and the handwriting didn't look like Ron's, Hermione's, Sirius's, or Hagrid's. Could Draco Malfoy have sent all these things to annoy him?"Who gave you the package, Hedwig?" he asked. But she just nibbled on his finger and went back to drinking out of her water dish. Then she hooted with surprise. Amoldy stoat sandwich was swimming around in the water. "Not more things!" groaned Harry. He opened his dresser and founda baseball with feet asleep on his sweaters and a nest ofmoldy stoat sandwichs snuggled in his socks.Suddenly the bright moonlight coming in the window dimmed. Harry slammed the drawers closed and hurried over to see what it was this time. Amoldy stoat sandwich hovered outside the window and he heard scuffling on the roof. He opened the window again and leaned out, pushing the hovering thing away. He couldn't see anything when he looked up. But he could hear better with the window open, and the noise on the roof sounded like footsteps."Hedwig," he whispered. She flew silently across the room and landed on his arm. "What's on the roof?"Hedwig droppeda baseball with feet into his hand, then soared outside as he dumped it out the window. Moments later, she returned. She nuzzled his cheek, then returned to her cage. "What was it?" he asked. She didn't seem concerned.Moments later, a foot came into view outside the window. Then Ron Weasley appeared, laughing at the astonished look on Harry's face. "Happy Birthday!" he said, quietly so he wouldn't wake the Dursleys. Then he looked puzzled, and droppeda molting lion onto the floor. "Is this yours?" he asked."No!" said Harry. "Strange things have been appearing all evening. I thought somebody was trying to curse me. Did you send this?" He pointed at the package on the bed."Not me. I just wanted to come by and surprise you. Borrowed an invisibility cloak from dad, and--" he stopped suddenly and pulleda molting lion from his bright red hair.Harry tossed it out the window, and caughta molting lion that was trying to climb over the sill and threw it along. "The note says 'watch the sky for more surprises.' And here you are, as well as all these odd things."Ron laughed quietly. "The only thing I brought you. . ." he pulled something out of his pants pocket, ". . .was this!" He handed a small wrapped package to Harry."Wow, thanks!" Harry was about to open it whena molting lion dropped from the ceiling right in front of them both. They leaped backward and fell onto the bed. Then they heard Harry's Uncle Vernon's snores falter and sat quietly, hoping the snoring would start up again. It did.Hedwig hooted loudly ata molting lion that sat innocently on the dresser near her cage. Harry groaned when he realized he'd left the window open. "Shhh," he told the owl, grabbing the thing and dumping it out the window."Look!" said Ron in an awed voice. Something huge approached through the air.Keeping an eye on it while catching thefeathered snake that scampered across the floor, Harry closed the window one more time. "Do you think it's Voldemort?" he asked Ron."Don't say the name!" whispered Ron. "No, why would he send things to annoy you? He wants you dead, not just bothered.""What if all this is to drive me away from the Dursleys? Voldemort said I was protected while with my family." Harry founda half-full butter-beer bottle anda half-full butter-beer bottle still hiding in corners of his room and stuffed them into the pillowcase. He didn't want to open the window.The flying thing got closer and closer. First it looked likea half-full butter-beer bottle, then likea half-full butter-beer bottle. Its outlines wavered and changed, sometimes bigger, sometimes smaller. Harry started to get a scared prickling feeling down the back of his neck and in the pit of his stomach.Ron stared out the window. "It'sa half-full butter-beer bottle. No, now it looks likea half-full butter-beer bottle." He didn't seem as uneasy as Harry was feeling. But then, he hadn't received a package that said 'watch the sky for more surprises.'When Harry was sure that it wasa half-full butter-beer bottle, the flying thing suddenly lost its wavery outlines, and he could see that it was . . . Rubeus Hagrid, flying on the oddest creature Harry had seen since Buckbeak the hippogriff. It had the head ofa little green alien, the body ofa little green alien, the feet ofa little green alien and the wings ofa little green alien. With a relieved grin, Harry flung the window open. "Hagrid!" he called, not even caring if he woke the Dursleys. They were scared senseless by Hagrid."Harry!" cried Hagrid. "Happy Birthday to ye!" As he and the odd beast flew in through the window,a little green alien anda little green alien scuttled out of the way. Harry didn't even care anymore. Let the Dursleys see them. He almost hoped they would."What is that thing?" he asked Hagrid as the huge man sat on his bed, making it creak ominously."It's a kameleon--a magical sort o' chameleon. Hides its shape by magic to confuse ye. If Muggles see it, they just think it's an airplane ora little green alien."Harry grinned, thinking about all the stories of UFOs."So, did ye get yer present?" Hagrid looked around the room, noticinga little green alien anda little green alien curled up next to the wall."Um, what did you send?" asked Harry. He was staring at a particularly uglyrotating paper clip lazing on a bookshelf. "I asked an old friend in Diagon Alley to send ye a box o' magic bonbons. Ye didn't get it?" Hagrid looked downcast."The only thing I got--" Harry pointed at the color-changing wrapping paper and its strange note. Arotating paper clip was nibbling on the paper.Hagrid looked at it. "Yes, that should be it. They're a bit like the crackers we 'ave at Christmas. All kinds o' interestin' things come out. Thought you'd enjoy it, stuck 'ere with the Muggles.""Interesting things like that?" asked Harry, pointing toa little green alien perched on the top of Hedwig's cage. Hedwig glared at it, clicking her beak."Hmmm. Could be. Didn't ask which box he sent, just ordered the biggest one."Ron grinned as he scooped upa little green alien that was trying to crawl up his leg. "Would make a nice pet," he said."So what happened to your present?" Hagrid asked Harry. He reached out to strokea little green alien with one huge finger."I think the box came open, and dumped most of the bonbons outside the house," said Harry. "I've been finding weird things all over the place tonight.""And we dumped most of them right back out the window," chortled Ron, ticklinga little green alien. "Just imagine what the Dursleys will think in the morning."As Ron, Hagrid and Harry laughed, Harry thought that this was certainly the strangest birthday he had ever had.

Party Like Crasherz!

Life is precious, but starts as a blank canvas and every day lived to the fullest adds meaning. Life is to be lived, as if each day were the last and yet more likely a beginning.

Life can be wasted, by choosing not to hold it precious and allowing it to seep away unnoticed. Life is a positive, in a sea of negatives competing for the light it needs to grow.

Life is about learning, and understanding how that knowledge can be applied. Life is worth celebrating, not at the expense of others but with their blessing. Life is everyone, everywhere but the only life you can use to make a difference - is yours!

By sending one of our FREE e-Cards and 'Glad You Were Born Today' Birthday song, you will become part of the GYWBT Party Crasherz and receive regular e-mail updates with wish stories, news and more!

Mexico Extradites 50 Fugitives to U.S.

2006-10-02T00:08:00.000-07:00

MEXICO CITY - U.S. Ambassador Tony Garza announced Tuesday that Mexico has extradited a record 50 fugitives to the United States this year, including several alleged drug traffickers, murders and rapists.

According to Garza, extraditions show that Mexico is no longer a haven for U.S. criminals. Garza stated, "Fugitives allegedly committed crimes in the United States and thought they would enjoy free and unfettered lives south of the border.They were wrong."

In November, Mexico's Supreme Court overturned a four-year ban on the extradition of suspects facing life in prison, consequently removing the obstacles that had prevented many of Mexico's most notorious criminals from facing U.S. justice; yet Mexico still refuses to extradite suspects who face the death penalty in other countries.

A 1978 treaty with the United States allows Mexico to deny extradition if the suspect could be executed.

Mexico extradited accused narcotics kingpin Francisco Rafael Arellano Felix to the United States last month, making Felix the first major Mexican drug lord to be sent to face trial in the U.S. Martin Torres, 44, who is charged in in Austin, Texas with sexual assault and murder was also exradited this year.

Though capital punishment is illegal here, a 1978 treaty with the United States allows Mexico to deny extradition if the suspect could be executed.

Garza said. "We are working together to guarantee that neither country will ever be a refuge for those who seek to escape justice."

In 2005, according to the U.S. Department of Justice, Mexico extradited 41 suspected criminals to the United States, up from 34 in 2004; 31 in 2003; 25 in 2002; 17 in 2001; and 12 in 2000.

Ex-Gov. Ryan in prison

2006-09-28T19:07:00.000-07:00

Former Illinois Gov. George Ryan, who was acclaimed by capital punishment foes for emptying out death row, was sentenced Sep 5 to 6 and a half years in prison for his corruption scandal. "When they elected me as the governor of this state, they expected better, and I let 'em down and for that I apologize," the 72-year-old Republican said in court before hearing his sentence. Federal prosecutors had asked for eight to 10 years in prison. Defense attorneys argued that even 2 and a half years would deprive Ryan of the last healthy years of his life. "Government leaders have an obligation to stand as the example. Mr. Ryan failed to meet that standard," U.S. District Judge Rebecca R. Pallmeyer said. Ryan and about a dozen members of his family stood stoically as Pallmeyer imposed the sentence. He said "involuntary separation" from his wife of 50 years, Lura Lynn, would be "excruciating." "The jury's verdict speaks for itself in showing that I simply didn't do enough -- should have been more vigilant, should have been more watchful, should have been a lot of things, I guess," Ryan said. The former governor was ordered to report to prison on January 4, but his attorneys are trying to keep him free on bond pending appeal -- a matter that Pallmeyer will decide later. Ryan was convicted in April of racketeering conspiracy, fraud and other offenses for taking payoffs from political insiders in exchange for state business while he was Illinois secretary of state from 1991 to 1999 and governor for four years after that. The verdict capped Illinois' biggest political corruption trial in decades.

L.A. City Attorney to review Paris Hilton drunk driving case

2006-09-28T19:06:00.000-07:00

The city attorney's office is deciding whether to file charges against Paris Hilton after her arrest last week on suspicion of drunk driving, a spokesman said Tuesday.

The Los Angeles Police Department has submitted to the city attorney's office its case against the 25-year-old hotel heiress, and lawyers will review the case to determine whether to prosecute, said Nick Velasquez, a spokesman for the city attorney's office.

"We will submit our decision by the Sept. 28 arraignment date," he said.

Hilton was arrested Sept. 7 in Hollywood after officers stopped her for driving erratically. Police said her blood-alcohol level was 0.08 percent, which is the legal limit in California.

Penalties for a first drunken-driving offense typically include a fine, probation, an alcohol-rehabilitation program, license suspension and other conditions such as community service, Velasquez said.

Hilton is the star of "The Simple Life" reality show and recently launched a music career with last month's release of her CD, "Paris."

SEO Tools - Link Popularity

2006-09-04T02:05:00.000-07:00

What is link Popularity? Link popularity is a general representation of the total number of web pages which link to a website (or individual web page). Most of the major search engines support the "link:" operator. Type in “link:” (without the quotation marks) in front of the URL about which you want to learn.

What does this tool do? This tool will query all the major search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN, and Ask) when you enter the “link:” operator with your chosen URL. It will return the total link count for each URL.

You will notice that the totals vary greatly from search engine to search engine; this is because the figures shown represent the number of inbound links that are known to that search engine (which will vary based on the size of their database). Most of the search engines (Google especially) also apply various filters against the inbound links; therefore, some inbound-links may not be counted toward the total.

Why is link popularity important?. Link popularity is important because it is a major factor used by search engines in determining a site's position in search results. Generally, a site with more inbound links will be positioned higher than a similar site with fewer links. Other factors that are considered include anchor text.

Search Engine News - Google Launches Project Hosting

2006-09-04T02:03:00.000-07:00

It’s common knowledge that Google likes open source software. With the search engine’s latest move to create an open source repository, it’s getting behind the open source community in a big way. For various reasons, however, it’s getting mixed reviews.

The company unveiled the new service at the O'Reilly Open Source Developers Conference. It's called Project Hosting, and like all Google betas, it's free to use, though you do need to have a Google account. The service is supposed to give open source software developers a web-based ability to track bugs and other issues with their software, collaborate, and otherwise handle the many details involved in working on and coordinating an open source project. You can see that the company is trying to keep the same clean interface for which it is famous (as you'll see in another screen shot in the next section). It has adopted the "release early, release often" motto popular within the open source community. Judging from some of the comments this particular service has received, however, it's one beta that may have been released just a little too early.

Google seems to be willing to accept the flak as the price it pays to make this work. Project Hosting was created by a regular, small team of Google developers; one wonders if this is one of the benefits of the "20% time" that Google gives its engineers. The goal of the service, according to Google Engineering Manager Greg Stein, is to make issue and bug tracking simpler. "We wanted to get it in peoples' hands and get our feedback so we can shape it as we get informed," Stein explained. "We're launching it very early because we want some feedback."

Advanced SEO Mio methods and strategies

2006-09-01T01:45:00.000-07:00

At the more advanced level, SEO Mio involves concepts and solutions that go well beyond the basics and cater to your clientele at the same time. You can forget about the advanced level of search engine optimization for now, yet this article will touch on it.

To understand how Sites appear in the top of the search engine results and how search engine optimization can improve page and Site ranking and position, you need to know more about how and why search engines work, which will be explained.

Step by step, this article will help you determine the keywords and search phrases and terms you will need to use to achieve top search engine results, and how you might use them.

Pages pay for top position.Sites and web pages that appear at the top of the non-paid, non-sponsored results and rank high, at the top, or on the first pages do not pay for position.

You can trick the search engines. Search engines are businesses that rely on relevant results and they will do everything they can to avoid you being able to trick them into displaying your pages as top results.

Anyone who claims they can trick the search engines is mistaken and leading you down a path to de-listing. However, since search engines rely on relevant results, you can help the search engines by writing and designing relevant pages, by learning more about them, and by learning about search engine optimization.

Understanding SEO will enable you to create pages that appear higher if not on the first page of search results, and maintain that position and ranking.

SEO Mio - Keyword is a myth

2006-09-01T01:37:00.000-07:00

You likely have many preconceptions about how and why some pages appear higher in the search results than others. How and why Sites achieve top search engine position will make so much sense that you may be amazed that you had not realized this before. Once you understand search engine optimization, the basic concept of getting top search position is fairly simple and is an approach and technique you can learn and apply.

Search engine optimization describes the procedure that enables web sites to achieve top non-paid search engine ranking and position such as Google, Yahoo, and etc. On the most basic level, SEO can be thought of as search engine compatibility or creating Sites and pages that are compatible with the way search engines work.

No matter what you call it, top keyword page ranking, top Internet search engine position, top web result ranking, first page web results, leading web results, top web results position, top position, high page ranking, (or any other variation), the reason that pages appear high or at the top of search results is a result of search engine optimization.

Top search position cannot be bought though it can be achieved - in many cases fairly easily once you understand how.

Many Sites (perhaps most) are not search engine friendly or search engine compatible and therefore do not appear in the first pages of results - sometimes they do not appear on any page of results.

On Web searching and search engine marketing.

The majority of the SEO knowledge out there today is about links. From services that provide linking, to sites that sell links, we have a huge investment in “links=seo". So huge, that even long after linkage as SEO is dead an buried, there will still be those trumpeting it as the end-all-be-all of SEO to make coin off it.

Duplicate Web Site Contents Penalty Issue

2006-08-29T11:52:00.000-07:00

The "SEO/Search Engine related - Duplicate contents penalty" issue is one of the biggest issues that we are dealing everyday with SEO task and update the websites. The issue is that search engines such as Google, Yahoo etc., will penalise or banned a site if much of its content is also on other websites.

There is a real duplicate contents penalty for content that is duplicated with minor or no variation across the pages of a single site. There is also a "mirror" penalty for a site that is more or less substantially duplicating another single site. What we're talking about here is the reprint of pages of content individually. The punishment can mean making it less likely that the site will appear in search results. Punishment can also mean removal from the search engine's index of web pages.

Google penalizes page rank when it determines that content is duplicated by other sites.

How to Check the "Duplicate Content" and avoid the "duplicate content penalty"?

You could check for duplicated content - http://www.copyscape.com

Just enter the URL of the page you want to check, Copyscape will return a list of pages in the Google index that contain text also present on your site, or for more detail you can subscribe to their Copysentry service. We are not sure how much duplication can result in a penalty, if it's 20 words, 30, a whole page. You will need to make a decision on whether you believe you have a problem or not. A lot of time your marketing web page text will appear as a description for a link to your site - this probably won't be counted as duplicate content.

Google Now Crawling Flash Code - SWF!

2006-08-28T21:41:00.000-07:00

Google has indexed Flash files for several months, despite the persistent "don't use Flash" mantra of search optimizers. Indeed, Flash might be a poor idea for numerous reasons. But now it appears that Google's spider is able to see into Flash code more effectively than before, and rank Flash elements in the index rather than merely refer to them.

It looks like there were some minor changes across the "Google Info for Webmasters" minisite recently. One thing that caught my eye is an explicit mention of the search vendor indexing SWF: "At Google, we're able to index most types of pages and files with very few exceptions.

A sampling of the file extensions we're able to index includes: pdf, asp, jsp, html, shtml, xml, cfm, doc, xls, ppt, rtf, wks, lwp, wri, swf, cfm, and php." So now when people write to a mailing list saying "Google doesn't index SWF", there's now explicit information to the contrary on the Google site itself.

Does Google Really index Flash content?

Yes, Google can parse through the text contained within a .swf file and present that information in a Google search. But due to the fact that an entire website can be contained in a single .swf file, whereas a traditional HTML site may consist of hundreds of individual pages, the weightings and rankings given to certain pages may not be accurately portrayed in Google's results.
