ISSUE 570 • OCTOBER 1, 2012“I was bold in the pursuit of knowledge, never fearing to follow truth and reason to whatever results they led, and bearing every authority which stood in their way.” – Thomas Jefferson

Think back 20 years. If someone asked you to “google” the name of an actor in a movie, you wouldn’t have had a clue what they were ask-

ing. Today, the term has become so ingrained in our everyday language that the Merriam Webster diction-ary actually recognizes it as a word.

Although the offi cial grammatical defi nition of “google” is a verb meaning to use the search engine Google to ob-tain information about something on the World Wide Web, Internet users often say they’re going to google something even if they don’t use Google to search for it.

Internet users have plenty of choices for search engines such as Bing, Yahoo! and Yandex but given Google’s status as the most often used search engine in the world, they may still be choosing Google the majority of the time.

WHERE DID GOOGLECOME FROM?

The seeds of the idea that would eventually become Google began on the campus of Stanford University in 1995. The founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, met while Brin showed prospective student Page around the campus. The following year, both Brin and Page were computer science graduate students at Stanford and put their heads to-gether on revamping the search engine.

Thus, BackRub (Google’s original name) was formed. The pair operated BackRub, a “web crawler” designed to transverse the web to locate information on the univer-sity’s servers for over a year before the uni-versity kicked them off for using too much bandwidth to operate.

In 1997, Page and Brin decided to come up with a more meaningful name for their search engine. They decided on Google, which is a play on the word “googol,” a mathematical term for the number that represents the numeral 1 followed by 100 zeros. They found this name fi tting as it re-fl ects their mission to organize a possibly infi nite amount of information found on the web into one place.

HOW IT GOT STARTEDThe Google that we know and love today wouldn’t have been possible if not for the $100,000 investment by Sun co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim. Bechtolsheim wrote

the check in August 1998 for a non-existent company, Google Inc. Shortly thereafter, Page and Brin moved from their digs on the Stanford campus to Susan Wojcicki’s garage. Using Bechtolsheim’s funds, they fi led for incorporation and that was that.

That same year, PC Magazine wrote that Google was the search engine of choice in the Top 100 Web Site for 1998.

By 1999, the company had moved out of Wojcicki’s garage and had a whopping eight employees. By the end of the year, the company would tout a 500 percent in-crease in employees, bringing the total to 40.

GOOGLE HASA SENSE OF HUMOR

On April 1, 2000, Google made a big an-nouncement; however, it was completely false. The company claimed that they were launching MentalPlex, a program that would allow you to visualize your search results and the program would read your mind to show them to you. These April Fools’ Day jokes became a yearly tradition for the company.

Other April Fools’ Day jokes included:

• Announcing that pigeons power the search results

• Announcing plans to open the Googluna-plex, a new research facility on the Moon

• Announcing the development of a magi-cal beverage that makes its drinkers more intelligent, ultimately making searchers more adept at using search results

• The introduction of Gmail Motion, which lets you control Gmail with your body, and Chromercise, which promises to give you the fi ttest fi ngers you could ever dream of

Also in 2000, Google announced that it had become the world’s largest search engine, boasting over one billion URLs (Uniform Resource Locator’s) in its index. This an-nouncement was true and Google remains the largest search engine.

WHAT DOES GOOGLELOOK LIKE NOW?

Google has about 45 different products available to date. They include but are

The most recently-added program is called Snapseed, which is likened to the Face-book application Instagram. Both allow you to edit, crop, sharpen, lighten, adjust color saturation and add vintage fi lters (just to name a few) to your photos.

The unoffi cial numbers from the second quarter of 2012 indicate Google has up-wards of 34,000 permanent employees.

I WANT TO BE FIRST!Google is a fully automated search engine, which means you don’t need to do anything to show up on a search. The program uses software called “spiders” to sift through the web on a regular basis and pick out sites to add to the index. Thus, your search results are chosen.

It is estimated that almost 90 percent of people using a search engine won’t look past the fi rst page. So how can a website optimize its location on the search results page? There is no way to guarantee a better ranking on a Google search.

It is a coveted spot nonetheless because when a user performs a search, they click on the top result most often, up to 42 per-cent of the time. The more clicks that result gets, the more relevant the website appears to be.

There are most defi nitely ways around Google’s ranking system, providing a site a better location when it may not be ac-curate. This practice is known as “black hat optimization” and is a big no-no in the world of search engines.

When a Google search is performed, a se-

ries of algorithms are used to rank the most relevant search results at the top of the page, with the results becoming less and less relevant as you move down the page. One of the ways a site is deemed relevant is the amount of other sites that link to it. Google essentially measures a site’s popu-larity based on those links.

In “black hat optimization,” a person or company pays to have links placed on hun-dreds or even thousands of other sites all over the Web, which ultimately lead back to their website. Based on the amount of links that site has, Google thinks the site is more relevant and the site appears as one of the top search results regardless of the true relevance to the search. The penalty? The site sinks drastically in Google’s search results.

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY….MONEY

As with any other company, Google has to make money somehow. The answer: ads. In 2000, Google launched AdWords, a do-it-yourself program that allows advertisers to post their ad on Google sites. Since then, Google has updated to AdSense but the premise remains the same.

It is estimated that about 85 percent of Google’s net revenue comes from running ads on Google sites. Another 10 percent comes from ads running on other non-Google sites. The remaining 5 percent comes from other avenues like Google Apps subscriptions.

UH OH, GOOGLEGoogle has had its fair share of bad press. It was recently hit with a $22.5 million fi ne by the Federal Trade Commission, which charged Google with bypassing privacy settings and using cookies to track users of another search engine, Apple Safari. In addition to the fi ne, Google was required to disable all cookies it placed on affected users’ computers.

DOES YOUR DOG OR CAT HAVE BAD BREATH??

That odor could be tooth or gum dis-ease.Tooth and gum disease are one of the most common health prob-

lems veterinary professional see in dogs and cats. Periodontal (gum) disease is currently the #1 diagnosed problem in dogs and cats over the age of three. Periodon-tal disease is caused by plaque, a colorless fi lm that contains large amount of bacteria, which builds up on the teeth. If left un-checked, periodontal disease can damage gums and the supporting structures around the roots of the teeth, leading to mouth pain and tooth loss. The bacteria can also enter the bloodstream and slowly damage vital internal organs such as the liver, kidneys, heart and lungs. Treating periodontal dis-ease is one of the most cost effective pro-cedures you can do for the health and well-being of your pet. Fractured teeth can be a common problem in any age pet.

There are many warning signs that your pet might be developing dental problems such as:.

• Bad breath• Mouth pain• Yellowish-brown crust on the teeth• Bleeding gums (especially after chew-ing on a bone or toy)• Going to the food bowl but not eating• Tooth loss• Abnormal drooling • Dropping food out of the mouth when eating

The best way to check if your pet has a dental problem is simply to raise his or her lips and have a good look at the teeth and gums. If you notice stains or other build up on the teeth, bleeding or swollen gums,

missing teeth, or foul breath, your pet war-rants an exam to see if there are signs of dental disease or a need for a professional dental cleaning.

Pets will not tolerate having their teeth cleaned without using general anesthesia. A complete cleaning cannot be done while your pet is awake. Many pet owners avoid dental procedures because they fear the risks of anesthesia. Today’s modern an-esthetics and monitoring equipment make anesthesia safer than ever before. Your veterinarian will assess your pet’s health, review blood tests and determine the safest anesthetic for your pet to reduce the risks. It is important that you discuss any fears and concerns you have with your veterinar-ian. Deciding against treatment because of the risk of anesthesia can adversely af-fect your pet’s health.

The good news is that with professional cleanings and good home care, most dental disease is preventable or even reversible. A pro-active approach and regular dental care can help maintain good oral health throughout your pet’s life.

Palmer Lake Veterinary Clinic is making October “Pet Dental Awareness Month”

Now through the end of October,we are offering a Free Dental Exam

and 15% off total costof a professional dental cleaning

(Includes pre-anesthetic blood work, I.V. Fluids, anesthesia, professional cleaning

and tooth extractions, if needed.)

THE MONSTER BASH:The Legend of Linus Bardamas

PART 1By Nicholas Yanez

As October brings its autumn zest upon our state, I am reminded of a forgotten ritual. Though the tra-

dition no longer takes place, it is one that deserves great recognition; and despite the famed Halloween essentially taking its place, October 27th should still stand as a day of celebration. Over the next four weeks, I will tell you the story of Linus, a young Trow who was once put in an ex-traordinary position. I will tell the tale of the Monster Bash; and why after centuries, it will be recognized once again on the 1,000th anniversary in 2012…

First, to fully understand this tale of un-likely occurrence, one must know what a Trow is. Similar to a Troll, they are sensi-tive to the light, small in stature, and (per-haps from a lifetime of burrowing in the dark) are known to be irritable. The differ-ence however, is that Trows are native to the Shetland Islands. Why history is kinder to the Trolls of Scandinavia is a mystery; especially considering the accomplishment of one Linus Bardamas - a Trow who will forever defi ne the species.

It was October 26th, the year 1012. As the sun circled down, each member of the Trow village grew anxious. Tonight was a night of no moon, and because of this rare occasion, the entire colony would cel-ebrate outside. With so few opportunities to adventure into the outdoors, a night of no moon was usually considered the high-light of the year for most Trows. So they spread. Across the land and over the hills they gathered and sucked the fresh air. It was a sweet relief, not to be outdone.

4TH ANNUAL VIKING FAIRVIKING HALL

1045 Ford Street, Col Springs Saturday, October 27, 2012

9 AM to 2 PM-Bazaar

Linus was picking grass the height of his father. Creating trails in the land that he could frolic through in the nighttime. He saved the grass in a basket, hoping he could grow some of his own in a tunnel. He longed to be human; strong, tall, and a warrior. But Linus knew his limitations, he was but a simple Trow, and he was okay with that now. As he threw another bundle of greens into his stone basket, he heard a howling scream in the night. There was si-lence. AHHHHHGGGG – another scream came blistering from the north, and the he heard something like a careful thunder. He stepped forward and listened. It became clear; it was the sound of footsteps. Then over the hills came hundreds of Trows running and screaming. Linus looked and saw some were carrying fallen ones. Fear struck his heart as, from over the hilltop, he saw a twenty-foot one eyed Norwegian Monster munching on some fresh Trow. The monster was soaking wet, fresh from an ocean swim. Then Linus saw another, and another; three Monsters pillaging the peaceful Trow, ripping them limb from limb and feeding on the remains. Linus turned his back, tears gushing, and ran with the others. The monsters had invaded from the northern shore though, and were stomping the grounds of the tunnel en-trance. Linus and his neighbors were run-ning from the monsters, but they were also scurrying away from their only way home. Within hours, the night would fall and the sun would work its way back into the sky.

WEST NILEVIRUS

We’re experiencing a seasonal epidemic for West Nile vi-rus, brought on by infected

mosquitoes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. West Nile virus can cause serious ill-ness for some people, even leading to death in a small percentage, especially those who have other medical condi-tions and those who above the age of 50.

In 2011, the total number of cases of West Nile virus for the whole year was 712. So far in 2012 the CDC has logged 1,590 cases and 65 deaths. In other words, it’s getting worse, and we need to know how to protect ourselves.

A fact sheet from the CDC gives some good advice.

Outside your house: Empty any con-

tainers that can hold standing water. This can include saucers under fl ower containers and any pots or buckets. Empty water in birdbaths weekly. It recommends emptying a pet’s outdoor water bowl weekly as well, but I would suggest doing it daily. You don’t want your pet to drink water that might have mosquito larva in it.

Inside your house: Make sure all your screens are tight to the window and do not have holes.

When you go out: Taking care that you don’t get bit by mosquitoes is probably the most crucial of all the preventions. Wear long sleeves and pants if you’re out when the mosquitoes are most ac-tive, which is dawn and dusk. Use an EPA-registered insect repellent.

If your community decides to spray for mosquitoes as a way of controlling West Nile virus, take care not to be out-doors when they spray. Keep windows closed.

For more information, especially the symptoms, go to the CDC site (www.cdc.gov) and search for West Nile vi-rus, or call it at 1-800-232-4636.

SNIPPETZ® HOME AND GARDEN

ARE VOLES PREVENTING

YOU FROM HAVING A

BEAUTIFUL GARDEN?

Sigh… Voles. They are my nem-esis. If it isn’t my perennial gar-den, my vegetable garden or my

newly planted shrubs than it is defi nitely my spring blooming bulbs. So frustrat-ing! Planting bulbs every Fall is no easy task either. Especially just to see only a few come up in the Spring. Fortunately, through trial and error and buying a lot of expensive Vole food, I am happy to say there are at least a few different kinds of bulbs that they just don’t seem to like.

First of all, hats off to Daffodils! I love Daffodils! I’ve fi nally come to terms that not all Daffodils’ are snooty and mean like the ones in Disney’s Alice in Won-derland. Actually, on second thought, maybe they are and that’s why the voles don’t like to eat them! What’s even better is the deer don’t like them either! Hurray! And there are so many great varieties and colors to choose from. They have bloom times that cover early spring, mid spring and late spring. You can coordinate a

beautiful bulb garden with plenty of early and long lasting color just from Narcissus. They range in size from the 6” Narcissus canaliculatus which is white with a gold cup or the 20” Narcissi Rick which has a whopping 5” fl ower with a dark apricot ruffl ed cup. Then for even more variety choose a sampling of double, split cup, or a species miniature like Narcissus bul-bocodium conspicuous which is gold with a funnel shaped fl ower. So much fun!

After you have had your fi ll of all of the wonderful Narcissus varieties, another fa-vorite of mine is Muscari or Grape Hya-cinth. They come in many different shades of white and purple but the bright blue is without a doubt my favorite. Most variet-ies get around 6” tall and bloom from April to May. Another one to consider is Cam-masia also called a Wild Hyacinth. It is a beautiful star-shaped fl ower that blooms in the late spring. It comes in shades of blue-purple and white and is perfect for mass plantings along streams or ponds because it requires a bit more water. If you can get it to naturalize than it is well worth the ef-fort. For a very early bloomer try Chino-doxa or Glory of the Snow! Sounds about right! These little shorties, only about 5” tall, are available in purple, white and the prettiest pinks!

Take that vole! I may not get to plant all the gorgeous varieties of Tulips because they are considered candy to you, but I still have a beautiful bulb garden worth gawking at! So that’s one point for me!

• On Oct. 6, 1847, “Jane Eyre,” a book about the struggles of an orphan girl who grows up to become a governess, is pub-lished. Charlotte Bronte, the book’s author, wrote of her experiences at being sent to a boarding school at the age of 5.

• On Oct. 1, 1920, Scientifi c American magazine reports that the rapidly develop-ing medium of radio soon would be used to broadcast music: “Experimental concerts are at present being conducted every Friday evening from 8:30 to 11:00 by the Radio Laboratory of the Bureau of Standards.”

• On Oct. 5, 1930, a British dirigible crash-es in Beauvais, France, killing all 56 people aboard. The R-101, Great Britain’s biggest blimp, was fl ying only 250 feet above the ground, unbeknownst to the pilots because of the dark night. The blimp skimmed tree-tops before hitting a ridge, igniting the hy-drogen supply.

• On Oct. 4, 1944, Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-hower distributes to his combat units a re-port by the U.S. Surgeon General that re-

veals the hazards of prolonged exposure to combat. Based on this evaluation, American commanders judged that the average soldier could last about 200 days in combat before suffering serious psychiatric damage.

• On Oct. 2, 1968, St. Louis Cardinals pitch-er Bob Gibson strikes out 17 Detroit Tigers in the fi rst game of the World Series, break-ing Sandy Koufax’s record for the most strikeouts in a Series game.

• On Oct. 7, 1975, a New York State Su-preme Court judge reverses a deportation order for John Lennon, allowing him to remain legally in the U.S. The judge wrote that “The courts will not condone selec-tive deportation based upon secret political grounds.” An FBI investigation of Lennon had turned up no evidence of involvement in illegal activities.

• On Oct. 3, 1995, Heisman Trophy win-ner O.J. Simpson is acquitted of the double murder of his estranged wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman, despite a DNA match, a wound on Simp-son’s hand, the recent purchase of a “Sti-letto” knife and matching shoeprints at the scene.

• It was American actress, screen-writer and notorious sex symbol Mae West who made the following sage observation: “You only live once. But if you do it right, once is enough.”

• At the 2012 USA Memory Cham-pionship, Nelson Dellis set a new record for the memorization of ran-dom digits. At the annual event in New York City, Dellis accurately recalled a whopping 303 numbers in sequence.

• The Rose Parade, popularly known as America’s New Year Celebration, was originally started in 1890. These days, hundreds of thousands of people crowd the pa-rade route each year, and millions more view the television broadcast worldwide. The amount of work that goes into the display is aston-ishing: Each fl oat has anywhere from 30,000 to 150,000 fl owers on it, which are applied during the 700 to 900 hours spent on prepar-

ing each fl oat.

• Beloved fi lm icon James Dean was missing his front teeth; he had to wear a bridge to fi ll the gap in his smile.

• If you’re like the average Ameri-can, at least one-tenth of the garbage you produce is made of plastic.

• The fi rst sound recording ever made was created in 1877 by Thom-as Edison. It was a musical selec-tion: “Mary Had a Little Lamb.”

• Those who study such things say that American English has rough-ly 20 swear words (depending, of course, on how one defi nes swear-ing). In contrast, residents of an-cient Rome had a lexicon of about 800 “dirty” words to draw upon.

• If you’re planning a trip by air anytime soon, you might want to keep in mind that the busiest day in airports is Thursday.

EARLY RISER SPECIAL!

RUB YOUR SALAD THE RIGHT WAY

I had a version of this fantastic Rubbed Kale Salad at a dinner at a friendÕs house. Rubbing the leaves tender-

izes them and infuses them with fl avor. This mix of tender greens, buttery avo-cado, sweet bell peppers and carrots, and crunchy toasted almonds is delicious. ItÕs the perfect side dish for a gathering of friends or family. Best of all, you can prepare the salad in advance for a stress-free side dish.

Kale, both the curly and fl at-leaf or the di-nosaur varieties, is a great choice when se-lecting a leafy green vegetable. The leaves freeze well and actually taste sweeter and more fl avorful after being frozen. Kale is a member of the Brassica family, which also includes collard greens, cabbage and Brussels sprouts. All of these hardy greens contain sulforaphane, a chemical believed to have potent anti-cancer properties and phytonutrients, including powerful anti-infl ammatory and antioxidant properties and alkalizing effects on the body. Kale is very high in beta carotene, vitamin K, vitamin C and lutein, and fairly rich in calcium.

The more mature kale leaves are a nutri-tious addition to a variety of dishes, es-pecially ones containing robust meats or spicy fl avors. Tender Red Russian or Red Winter kale is the best variety to use for this rubbed salad recipe. If youÕre using other types of kale, select leaves that are less than 18-inches long for the best re-sults.

RUBBEDKALE SALAD

1 bunch kale, about 1/2 pound3 tablespoons olive oil1 1/2 teaspoons coarse sea salt

2 to 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or Ume plum vinegar1 tablespoon lemon juice1 tablespoon maple syrup, agave syrup, or honey1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper1 avocado, peeled, pit discarded, and sliced1 red bell pepper, stem, ribs and seedpod removed, diced1 large carrot, peeled and diced2-3 ounces slivered almonds, toasted

1. Wash your hands thoroughly. Rinse and pat the kale dry with paper or kitchen tow-els. Tear kale off the stems (leave them in large pieces) and place leaves into large bowl. Add olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt to the kale. Begin massaging the oil and salt into the kale leaves. Massage the leaves until you feel them become soft and pli-able, about 2 to 3 minutes.

2. Tear the kale into small pieces or cut into ribbons. Pour off any liquid that may have accumulated in the bottom of the bowl. Place the kale back into bowl. Add in the syrup or honey, 2 tablespoons vine-gar and the lemon juice to the kale to start. Continue rubbing the kale, until all sur-faces are coated and shiny, about 2 min-utes. Taste a leaf and add the remaining vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt, as needed.

3. Add pepper, avocado, bell pepper, carrot and almonds, and toss to combine. Serve cold or at room temperature. Serves 4.

New DVD Releases forWeek of October 1, 2012

“Dark Shadows” (PG-13) -- This comedy from Tim Burton is a loving take on an old TV series. A wealthy womanizer (Johnny Depp) breaks the heart of a spiteful witch. She takes out her frustration by turning him into a vampire, sealing him in a coffi n and leaving him to think about what he’s done for all eternity. Depp makes it out of the coffi n to fi nd that the year is 1972, a dys-functional family has taken over his manor, and the witch who cursed him is still out and about.

Depp and Burton need to stop working to-gether. Depp’s dramatic chops and comedic talent are nowhere to be seen. It’s another episode of the Burton Show: where Depp is a pasty weirdo prancing around in a typi-cal much-like-”Beetlejuice” affair. The few chuckles aren’t worth the groans.“People Like Us” (PG-13) -- Sam (Chris Pines) is a slick salesman type who, despite his acumen, sure could use a few more dol-lars. When his record-producing father passes away, Sam’s only inheritance is a bundle of cash and instructions to deliver it to a sister he never knew he had (Eliza-beth Banks). Sis is a single mom recover-ing from addiction and the knowledge that her father died without reconciling. Mom (Michelle Pfeiffer) is having a hard time as well. Everybody just needs a big group hug.It’s hokey and melodramatic and plenty predictable (of course Chris Pines won’t

take the selfi sh route.) However, the actors commit and deliver some cathartic scenes despite the drippy, made-for-TV look of the whole thing.“Iron Sky” (R) -- Nazis from the moon are invading with their fl ying saucers, and the president of the United States is Sarah Pa-lin. How can mankind survive? “Iron Sky” is a lesson in let-downs. The trailer for the movie bounced around the Internet seeking fan-funding. Unfortunately, the promise of a ridiculous, irreverent action-comedy about Moon Nazis can’t hold the line. Pop culture references are delivered in a sort of pretentious manner (a Dr. Strangelove reference does not automatically establish intelligent comedy). The strongest aspect of the fi lm is the surprising quality of the special effects.“Peace, Love, & Misunderstanding” (R) -- A mother takes her teen son and 20-some-thing daughter with her on a trip to visit

Grandma in upstate New York. The twist: the mother is getting divorced, the kids are somewhat apathetic and Grandma is Jane Fonda deep in the throes of baby-boomer self-parody. Everybody is kinda sad and resentful, but it’s all sorted out when they learn to, you know, loosen up, man.

OCTOBER 1, 2012

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Someone has some suggestions to offer regarding your new project. You might fi nd them helpful. Remember to avoid speculation and to stick with just the facts, Lamb.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) An old friend suddenly reappears. Whether this proves to be a boon or a bane in the Bovine’s life de-pends on the reason for this surprising reap-pearance. Be cautious.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Vital informa-tion fi nally emerges, allowing you to make that important personal decision. You can now move your focus to an upcoming profes-sional development.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might not like seeing so many on-the-job changes. But some of them could open new opportunities for the Moon Child’s talents to shine to your best advantage.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) An apparently solid-gold opportunity beckons the Lion. But check to see if all that dazzle isn’t just a sprinkling of surface glitter. Check it out be-fore making a commitment.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A close friend could offer advice on how to handle a diffi cult family matter. But in the end, the de-cision has to be made based on what is best for you and those you love.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Family problems are best worked out with all those concerned contributing suggestions that will ease tensions. Stay with it until a workable solution is found.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Expect to hear more about an offer that has piqued your interest. You earn respect for insisting on solid facts, not just a fancy talk about potential opportunities.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) What seemed to be a reasonable work-place request might need to be defended. Don’t fret. You have both the facts and a sur-prise ally on your side.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A bit of capriciousness might be just what you need. Plan to kick up your heels in a round of fun and games with family and friends this weekend.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Al-though some of your plans might have to be put on hold, things do begin to take a turn for the better by midweek. Your fi nancial crunch also eases.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your fi -nancial picture begins to brighten by week’s end. There are also favorable changes in your personal life. Someone you care for has good news to report.

BORN THIS WEEK: You seek balance, but not at the expense of justice. You would make a fi ne judge.

So You Think You Know How To Google?!!!

Series 2, Article 6

Google.com is pretty selfexplanatory. Right? If yousaid yes, there's a goodchance you're not usingGoogle to its full potential.Recently, I found thatthere's this complete underground world of mind-blowing search toolsfor Google, never beforementioned to me.

EXAMPLE 1:

If you are looking for:New York Times articles about test scores in college, but not the SATs, written between 2008 and 2010

This is how you Google it:site:nytimes.com~college"test scores" -SATs 2008...2010

(Type these terms into thesearchbar with one spacebetween each term.)

Here's the breakdown:

site: When you use the wordsite with a colon,Google will only search the pages of that particular site. (You can also use the word author with a colon to search for a particular author.)

~ This little sqiggley line is called a tilde. This is used before a word when you want Google to search for that word’s synonym. In this case Google will search for the word college, but also the words university andhigher education.

" " Using parenthesissearches for the exact phrase, not each word separately.

- The minus excludesthese words from the search.

... Three periods inbetween time ranges,date ranges, prices ranges, etc., will show all results within the designated range.

EXAMPLE 2:

If you are looking for:A report on the different air speed velocities of common swallows.

(HINT: Don't ask Google questions.Think about how an answerwould be phrased, and searchfor that. For instance, neversearch for "What is the air speedvelocity of a common swallow?")

This is how you Google it:filetype:pdf“air speed” intitle:velocity of *swallow

Here's the breakdown:

filetype: When you use the word filetype with a colon, Google will onlysearch for that type offile. You can alsosearch for:filetype:jpg or filetype:excel, etc.

intitle: The words intitle witha colon shows results with that specific word in the title of the document.

* The asterisk replacesitself with common terms in your search In this case Google will search for Red Rumped Swallow, Striped Swallow, etc.

OTHER SHORTCUTS:Don’t bother with a calculator,simply type the equation intothe Google searchbar usingthese symbols:

+ plus- minus* multiply/ divide

...BRING CHRIST INTO OUR FINANCIAL LIVES

THE PERFECT INVESTMENT...IT AIN’T WHAT

YOU THINK!When working with investors, I

fi nd far too often people who are looking for magic wands,

looking for that one perfect investment that will make everything right. That single tool that brings with it the promise that their goals and dreams will come true. Unfor-tunately, most times that promise ends up being hollow. When the illusion is fi nally uncovered, the investment is abandoned, usually sold at a loss and the quest is again restarted for that perfect investment. Sadly, too many will spend their entire lives seek-ing what cannot be found – there are no magic wands.

There is, however, a perfect investment … but it ain’t what you think. The perfect in-vestment is not a stock or bond or a mutual fund. It is not an annuity, the latest trust or even a personal bank. In fact the perfect investment is not an investment at all.

The perfect investment is found in your dreams – by defi ning them and committing to them. When we make the time to recog-nize what it is we want out of life and truly understand what it is going to take to make those dreams real, we can develop a plan of action. Then stocks, bonds and the rest of it become simply the tools we use to imple-ment that plan. The objective of investing now becomes not fi nding the best invest-ment or the highest return but to create a portfolio fi lled with good tools that support your vision of the future – to build a well-diversifi ed portfolio fi lled with investments that you understand, that you know when and how to use, and most importantly what

outcome to expect from their use.

When you create an investment plan based upon what it is you want out of life, your goals and dreams – the step by step prog-ress to their achievement – now become the measurement of investment success. Your attitudes towards risk, the amount of time you have and most importantly, the returns needed to make your dreams real, now become the variables that determine which investments you use and the amount of money you will invest. Individual in-vestments, once an end in themselves, now become the means to the end.

Your investments should serve you. If you will make the time to defi ne a plan built upon your goals and objectives, use invest-ing as the tool to implement that plan, you can make dreams come true. Now that’s a perfect investment. Maybe there really is a magic wand.

“… the man who, in building his house, dug deep and laid the foundation on a rock. When the fl oods came the torrent rush in on that house, but failed to shake it because of its solid foundation” Lk 6:48

A well-diversifi ed portfolio will have at its core investment dollars allocated between a diverse variety of assets including cash, bonds, stocks and alternative assets like gold or commodities. Depending on your attitudes towards risk, the amount of time you have and most importantly, the returns needed to build your dreams, these variables should determine which investments you use and the amount of money invested in each.
