| I'd like to propose a list of definitions... | | 2008-07-26 11:47:19 | | Would anyone be interested in (co)drafting a list of commonly used words?It's often assumed that we, as lefties, all share the same definitions of the english words we use here on this blog. I think it might be useful for us to actually discuss the different ways words can be defined so as to promote more understanding and conversation on The Peace Tree.Not sure what everyone else thinks about this. But I'd like to offer this very short list of possibilities which are ones ones I'm seeing used often."citizen""patriotism""our""we""country""peace""national""security""war""truth""soldiers"these next ones were proposed by betmo:"freedom""democracy""evil""righteous""worthy"and I'll also add:"occupation"http://www.relaywave.com/pingRelayWave.php

| Oriental Rug Definitions | | 2008-04-06 07:51:32 | | AKSTAFA or AKSTAFA PEACOCK DESIGN: A tribal rug design depicting a stick figure bird with illustrious long tail feathers. Currently found on new rugs with Caucasian based motifs (Kazaks) or antique pieces from the Caucasus or Turkey. ANTIQUE RUG: A rug woven 100 or more years ago. BOTEH: The small tear drop design that you see in Paisley. There are many arguments among rug scholars as to the significance of this drawing. Some say flame, pear, leaf, pine cone and this list goes on. There are numerous renditions of this symbol found in rugs of antiquity; some geometric that are difficult to recognize, unless one is familiar with the basic form. The flame gets my vote from the ancient Zoroastrians that worshiped fire.BAF: A suffix meaning woven by. CARPET: A large or oversized rug, usually not less than 9' x 12'. CARTOON: A picture of the rug to be woven (on graph paper) indicating the exact placement of each knot to be tied and in what colors to create the design of the rug.

| PITCHf/x - definitions | | 2008-02-28 03:25:00 | | Lingo. Jargon. Let me do what I should’ve done before - define a few things in one place.
This is not meant to be exhaustive, but defines the things I commonly refer to in my PITCHf/x posts.
Speed - this is almost always “start speed†in MPH. end speed is also measured. This is the calculated speed at release
y0 - this is a key number - y is the distance from home plate (which I think is actually at 1.4 ft., not 0). y0 is the release point. Actually, it is where the system picks up the ball and starts tracking it. y0 seems to have settled on 50, but has varied from 40 to 55.
x0 and z0 - what we typically refer to as a release point. It is where the ball is at y0 (0 is time in seconds, btw). x is lateral and z is vertical. 0 is the ground for z. 0 is the middle of the plate/rubber for x. A negative x value is to the catcher’s left, or inside on a right-handed batter. Most, if not all, of the graphs I | | By: Another Cubs Blog | | |

| Boating Terms and Definitions | | 2007-12-21 18:42:33 | | If you are like me then, at some point, you have probably wondered what all those strange boating terms mean. When my old man told me to move to the starboard side of the boat for the first time (I was about 7 I think) I gave him a very strange look. When he explained what it meant I remember saying "why don't you just say right." That was the wrong thing to say!If you are looking for a fantastic resource that will explain every boating term from ABAFT to YAWL then I recommend a visit to fintalk.com's boating terms and definitions. | | By: The Ultimate Fishing Blog | | |

| Menu Bar with CSS Definitions | | 2007-12-12 02:40:00 | | (Related Topic: Adding a Menu Bar)Menu bars are the basic navigation tools of a website. Menu bars allow the visitors or users of a website to conveniently navigate from one page to another. Without the menu bar or any other navigation links, all the contents of a website have to be placed on the front page. This would be tantamount to printing a whole book as a long scroll rather than the more practical leaf-page format. The menu bar is comparable to the index or table of contents of a book. It allows the readers to find the particular page or contents that they want. Thus, the need for scanning the whole book is eliminated.Even blogsites may need menu bars for easy navigation. For instance, this blogsite features a simple menu bar located at the top portion of the header area. This menu bar leads to the different resources and information found on this blogsite. Since each blog post is located on a unique page, you can link the important pages to the items of your menu bar. For instance, I have included the following items in my menu bar:HOME||CHAT||GAMES||SLIDES||BLOGROLL||ABOUT||CONTENTSThe menu bar of this blogsite was created using simple text links. There is another way of creating a Blogger/Blogspot menu bar using CSS definitions. CSS adds text effects to the menu bar. In my previous post on this topic I have discussed the simple method that I have used for this blogsite without using CSS definitions. In this post I will discuss the method that utilizes CSS definitions. (For an example of Blogger menu bar with CSS definitions, visit this site: Much Ado About Nothing.)Here are the steps that you should follow to create a menu bar for your Blogger/Blogspot site:Step1: Create a new header page element. To do this, please refer to this post: New Header and Crosscol Elements.Step2: Find the HTML section that is shown below and add the red-higlighted codes.<div><b:section maxwidgets='1' showaddelement='yes'><b:widget locked='true' title='Menu | | By: Web Basics | | |

| For SEO Beginners: Twelve Definitions You Need To Know | | 2007-07-22 09:42:05 | | SEO is a trade that exists solely on the internet, and even then it is comprised almost entirely of the hot air of so-called "expert opinion." Plenty of it blowing around these days as search maintains position as one of the most important marketplaces in the modern business world. Many DIY webmasters will end up searching for blog entries, articles, informational web sites, etc to help get them up to speed. The problem is that in most cases certain key terms are flung around like household names while the people doing the flinging are way out of touch with the average web browser. What some of us don't realize is that not everyone knows even the basics of SEO.This líst of twelve SEO-related definitions in alphabetical order (with notes) serves as a great companion for your initial SEO reading. Read alone it will get you up to speed on some key terminology that you'll need to know to intelligently engage the ever-changing world of SEO.Your Key to Top Rankings in Google, Yahoo and MSN!• Algorithms. A search algorithm is, in short, the incredibly complex mathematical formula that a search engine uses to "rank" web sites for keywords. Based on a huge number of variables and calculations, algorithms are among the most closely-guarded secrets on the internet. Why? Imagine if they were leaked - suddenly the less-than-honest would have a very specific guideline to follow in climbing to the top of search results in a less-than-organic way, ruining the quality of Google's search results and their entire competitive advantage with it.• Bot or Bots. See also "crawlers"• Crawlers. Googlebot, for example, is a search engine crawler. Googlebot periodically traverses the web in record time, indexing content, links - everything contained in page source code - and storing it in Google's search index. Then, when a user visits Google and enters a search phrase, the index, filtered by the algorithm, is what the user gets.
