The Sandbox

What is the sandbox? Marketers know about it and have a rough idea what it is, but not too many people are aware of how restricting the sandbox can be for their fledgling online business when they find their brand new site nowhere to be seen in the search engine results pages.

When that happens, chances are your site has been sandboxed. That’s a place where naughty boys go to be punished for smoking behind the bike sheds. Or websites that Google believe have been engaging in promotional tactics that it feels are unnatural, or dare I say it tantamount to spamming.

It’s a holding room where your site, while it remains indexed and can carry on as if nothing had happened except it simply won’t be given a visible placement in it’s search results.

The sandbox was created to stall spammers that create thousands of websites or blogs at a go in order to artificially boost their ratings and make a lot of money from adsense quickly. By holding any new sites that seem to grow unnaturally by acquiring too many back-links too fast or having too much content created much faster than a human could do it they protect their listings from irrelevant sites full of ads that just annoy their genuine clients - the average surfing population.

In a later post, Ill be looking at what steps you can take to prevent your site being sandboxed and what you can do if you are unfortunate enough to end up in the sandbox

Golden Spice Pancakes

Thanks to everyone for your notes of concern. After three days without heat and two without any power at all, we finally got our electricity turned on at 8:00 last night--just in time to save our tropical fish, who were not looking so good. Getting the electrical panel fixed wasn't a problem, but dealing with the overworked building permit office and the bureaucracy-bound power company was a nightmare. It took a day and a half after everything was fixed to get them to come out and turn the power back on. The whole ordeal is almost enough to make me want to run away to the woods and build my own solar power generator.

Fortunately, in the days leading up to our power outage I was able to get a little cooking done. On Sunday morning, I made these fluffy, lightly spiced pancakes, based on the Basic Pancakes recipe in Bryanna Clark Grogan's The (Almost) No Fat Cookbook. Someone recently asked in the comments if there were any fat-free vegan cookbooks, and the answer is a resounding Yes. For years, (Almost) No Fat and another Bryanna book, 20 Minutes to Dinner, were my fat-free bibles. Her recipes have just the right balance of healthiness and deliciousness, something mine can only aspire to. As far as I'm concerned, she will always be the queen of low-fat vegan cooking.

Golden Spice Pancakes
(printer-friendly version)

For these pancakes, I've added freshly grated orange peel to ramp up the fresh orange taste and spiced the batter lightly with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. I prefer the spice to be just an accent to the orange, not overwhelming, so if you want really spicy pancakes, you'll have to add more.

1 cup unbleached flour
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour (I used white whole wheat; ww pastry flour is another good option)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 pinch ground cloves
1 teaspoon orange rind (freshly grated orange peel)
1 1/2 cups orange juice
1/4 cup golden raisins (optional)

Spray a non-stick frying pan or griddle lightly with canola oil, and begin heating it on medium-high. Meanwhile, mix all the dry ingredients (flours through cloves) and add the rind, juice, and raisins to a well in the center. Mix briefly, just until combined (a few lumps are okay).

When the skillet is hot, drop the batter by quarter-cupfuls and cook until the tops are beginning to bubble. Turn and cook a couple more minutes until the underside is golden and the inside is cooked. Serve immediately.

Makes about 10 pancakes. Each one contains 121 Calories (kcal); trace Total Fat; (2% calories from fat); 4g Protein; 27g Carbohydrate; 0mg Cholesterol; 269mg Sodium; 2g Fiber.

Without raisins: 109 Calories (kcal); trace Total Fat; (2% calories from fat); 4g Protein; 24g Carbohydrate; 0mg Cholesterol; 268mg Sodium; 2g Fiber.

MOGO Wireless Boosts Cell Phone Signal

MOGO Wireless launched a series of cellphone signal boosting products at CES, the coolest of which simply plugs into your car accessory adapter to end those dropped calls while driving. (using your Bluetooth hands-free handset of course)

MOGO's plug-and-talk products includes a business/home office product that works in conjunction with a laptop (USB port), as well as a mobile product that works from an automotive 12 volt power supply to amplify signal strength up to 10 times. Considering USB is only 5V, I'm surprised the USB model can amplify signals up to 10x.

Anyway, the MOGO is compatible with all service providers operating on 800 and 1900 MHZ including AT&T, Inc., Sprint, T-Mobile, Alltel and Verizon Wireless, and is also compatible with Bluetooth devices. The MOGO Personal Mobile Cell Tower is installed by plugging the adapter into a car power supply or by plugging the USB adapter into a laptop, depending on the product purchased. Importantly, it can be used by multiple users at the same time. So you carload of teenager kids can each gab away on their cellphones. On second though, maybe a cellphone jammer is in order?

Once plugged in, the tower recognizes your mobile phone and its protocol, and begins boosting your bars so you can get a cell signal in the weakest cell signal areas. My house only gets 1 bar, so I may have to try one of these.

You can buy these cellphone boosting products at selected Best Buy stores, travel centers such as TravelCenters of America, direct mail catalogs such as Hammacher Schlemmer, and through major cellular distributors such as Aries Manufacturing and DBL Distributing. MOGO is currently shipping to key accounts and product is available with a MSRP of $149.

Features:
-Optional 12V to 110 adaptor accessory or SOHO bundled package allows the mobile user to achieve upgraded performance in a personal space environment at home or in office
-Increases signal bars/strength on mobile phone by more than 200 percent for most users / 50 dB system gain to increase mobile phone range (normally 2 bars)
-Wireless system. No wired connection to mobile phone
-Reduces dropped calls
-Improves call quality/clarity
-Extends cellular range for both voice and data (speeds laptop connection when using a wireless data card)
-Operates with multiple phones simultaneously
-All-inclusive package with dual-band amplifier, magnet mount antenna with RF cable, and usage instructions
-Compatible with all cellular service providers and technology works with both cellular and PCS users (except Nextel)
-Compatible with all wireless data cards and Bluetooth devices

Giz Explains: Quick Guide to Samsung’s CES Goodies [Giz Explains]

Samsung just dropped almost 20 items on us at CES, but not all of em are worth your time. Here’s a quick and dirty guide to some of the stuff worth knowing about, but not quite worth shoving down your throat with a full post.

• TVs: Series 7 high end plasma. Improved video processing makes this monster, available in 50, 58 and 63-inches, as well as with four HDMI ports, the cream of Samsungs HDTV offerings. Series 4 and 5 are the entry level plasma varieties, but are worthy of your attention thanks to their 3D displaying abilities, not to mention HDMI and USB 2.0 inputs. LCD-wise, Series 4 and 5 LCDs will also be dropping in various sizes, which will be capable of full 1080p, but given some of the smaller screen sizes, we aren’t so sure that is a big deal. If you are looking to save a pretty penny, but still want a large screen, the Series 6 and 7 rear projection models should do just the trick.

• Blu-ray and HDTV: The BP-U5500 combines the best of both HD DVD and Blu-ray, with its dual playback capabilities. At under $600, it may be promising for diehard HD DVD fans that see the imminent demise of their format on the horizon.

• Complete Theater Systems and Standard DVD. Samsung are launching a new Home Theater in a Box (HTIB) range, the 2.1-channel HT-X710 and 5.1-channel HT-X715, will offer wireless speaker systems, polished styling and 1080p upconversion. The more compact, Soundbar HT-X810 will be a smaller package with Bluetooth for streaming audio. The big daddy will be the HT-BD2, with 7.1 speakers and Blu-ray 1080p playback.

• The best of the rest. Samsung will be adding Bluetooth functionality to their P2 and T10 MP3 players. They also have a HD camcorder in the pipes, the SC-HMX20C will shoot 1080p straight onto its 8GB flash memory.

Roasted Pecans

Welcome new readers! If you're visiting this blog for the first time, either because of the mention in Vegetarian Times or because of the Food Blog Awards, you may be wondering, "What's a blog about 'fat-free' cooking doing with a post about pecans, which are almost all fat?" The truth is that the recipes on this blog are not really fat-free; what they are free of, for the most part, is refined oils (olive oil, canola oil, etc.), margarine (and butter, of course), shortening, and other "man-made," processed fats. Around the holidays I sometimes make exceptions to this rule, but even then I try to reduce the fat whenever possible. I try to keep the fat below 15% of the total calories in the dish, and when I exceed that, I label the recipe "higher-fat." I've never featured a recipe that's almost 100% fat--until now.

A long time ago, a friend's mother told me how she made the delicious roasted pecans she'd served at a party: You melt butter in a skillet, add the pecans, sauté them until they're fragrant, and sprinkle them with salt before cooling. For years that's how I made them, using high-quality margarine instead of butter. It's a treat so irresistible that it's possible for me to consume huge amounts of fat just by nibbling as I cook (each ounce contains over 21 grams of fat). This year I wanted to give roasted pecans as Christmas presents, and I got to thinking that there must be a way to roast them without the margarine and have them taste just as good.

I started doing some research, and I found a little-known trick to making pecans taste sweeter: Soaking and rinsing the shelled nuts in lukewarm water before roasting removes the tannins and pieces of corky material that can cause pecans to taste bitter. I was intrigued and decided to give it a try. The results were amazing! The pecans not only taste sweeter, but they seem to retain their moistness better during roasting, resulting in plumper roasted nuts.

While experimenting, I tried this technique two ways. One batch I roasted without added fat; to the other I added some margarine right at the end. Though the batch with the margarine did taste a little richer, mainly it tasted saltier because the margarine helps the salt adhere better. Both batches were delicious, and I doubt that most people would notice the missing margarine. I'm including the instructions for both methods, so you can do your own testing at home.
